Inside the $100B Gap in Travel: Why Running Tourism Is Just Getting Started - With CEO Michael Mazzara | #134
About this episode
Michael Mazzara discusses the emerging trend of running tourism and its potential to create meaningful travel experiences.
Michael Mazzara, CEO of Rogue Expeditions, breaks down one of the most overlooked trends in travel: running tourism. What started as a personal challenge turned into a global opportunity—multi-day running experiences that combine movement, culture, and community across destinations like Japan, Slovenia, and the Dolomites. In this episode, we get into why traditional race travel often falls short, who these trips are actually designed for (hint: not elite runners), and how shared physical experiences create deeper, more meaningful connections than typical group travel. If you’ve ever laced up your shoes in a new city or wondered what travel could look like beyond sightseeing, this one’s for you.
