One of the most expensive and time-consuming aspects of being a runner who travels around to various races is the cost and inconvenience of, well — travel. And at the top of that list of expenses and concerns is certainly the cost of finding a good, reliable hotel. Now a new company is out to help alleviate that concern.

Travel Runner last month launched its website – TravelRunner.com – that aims to bring together hotel reviews and discounts for runners and athletes seeking to find the best property to stay at to do their training while on a business or leisure trip. TravelRunner.com eliminates time spent sifting through generic hotel reviews and run map data to enable users to quickly determine the best place to stay.

“I used to spend hours researching hotels and possible run routes before going on a trip and thought there has to be a better way,” explains John Potts, CEO at Travel Runner.

 Features and benefits of TravelRunner.com include:

• Hotel reviews from a runner’s perspective
• In-depth Searchable Diaries that provide more Information about a destination or race

• Exclusive hotel prices for members.

For run specialty retailers, TravelRunner.com can help drive

traffic to the store because it points out the location of local running stores, particularly independent retailers, in relation to hotels on the site.

And for retailers that put on their own events, TravelRunner.com provides an option to provide out-of-towners with a hotel option — runners can get an Event Code and receive a rebate on participating hotels.

“My hope is that the running community will see the value of our concept and contribute to the Reviews and Diaries to make a really useful site for all runners and athletes,” Potts adds.

About Travel Runner LLC: TravelRunner.com is a hotel booking website specializing in matching runners and athletes with peer-reviewed hotels.  Members and Member Groups can enjoy hotel discounts with more than 250,000 participating hotels worldwide.  Reviews are open to everyone, and searchable diaries provide more detailed information about locations including tips on dining, things to do, and unique area facts.
