How it all started

Innovation Sports are a running & fitness event specialist. We organise events for both the charity and corporate sector.

We formed in 2004 as a group of friends wanting to make a difference in the health and fitness industry. We began organising our own races, which then evolved into a series of races, attracting thousands of runners of all abilities!

We have since evolved into a higher-end service provider to both charities and companies wanting to host their own events. Our events can include race logistics, timing, sound to stages. So, whatever your event needs, Innovation Sports Events can help you!

Here at Innovation Sports we pride ourselves on our ability to provide a professional and friendly service and help you host the perfect event, from start to finish!  SO, feel free to get in touch and one of our friendly event team will be happy to help you.

What people say about us

A real pleasure to work with! Innovation Sports hosted an absolutely amazing event for us! They made it look seamless and our participants had a fantastic time. Thank you!

Emily, St Modwen

Such a professional and friendly team! We asked Innovation Sports to host our annual teambuilding day. They sourced a venue, hosted a series of activities, provided refreshments and food, along with a DJ and music! I cannot tell you what a great day we all had, and the Innovation Sports staff could not do enough!

Julie, Disney

A truly amazing job! Vissen and the team at Innovation Sports have been hosting our running event for the past 5 years and they have been fantastic! Working with them is so easy and they make y life so much easier. Their event planning and execution is top class!

Paul, LandAid

Fantastic service! Innovation Sports have hosted a number of events for us. Everytime they just get better! They ensure the events are planned properly and the setup is fantastic. We setup in the middle of a field, but once they have finished, the event village just looks amazing!

Stanley, The Rainbow Run

WOW! Such a great experience and delivery from Vissen and the team at Innovation Sports. They made our lives so much easier and ensured every detail of the event was taken care of.

Emma – Futures for Kids

The Innovation Sports team really do go that extra bit further to make our event a fantastic experience for our clients. Nothing is too much for the team and they always do it with a smile on their faces!

Kate – Cure EB

We wouldn’t dream of hosting another race without the help of Innovation Sports. They just make the event so vibrant and handle any of our queries with ease. Such a friendly and professional team!

Colette – Lindfield Village Run

We would not know where to start without the help of the Innovation Sports Events team. They always seem to have everything in hand and allow themselves plenty of time to set things up. An extremely professional team that seem to be having fun whilst doing their job… An absolute pleasure to work with.
