CITY FOUNDER
No-one moves before you do. We're looking for passionate people to launch Run of a Kind in major cities that don’t yet have a running tour team.
This is the first time we’re expanding beyond Birmingham, and you’ll be the trailblazer.
You’ll use the orange-print of everything Lucy, our Founder, learned from running tours on six continents and launching a Running Business in Birmingham. Then, you'll add your own flavour to build something brilliant where you live.
🏁 What is a City Founder?
Someone who:
- Creates and delivers their own local running tours
- Builds a community of curious runners in their city
- Brings their creativity, energy and local knowledge to the ROAK brand
- Helps shape how we grow, globally
From the start-line you’ll be supported with training, systems, templates and loads of encouragement.
⏱️ Time Commitment:
This is a part-time, flexible role that fits around your current work and passions.
💰 Pay:
You keep the profits. After a small annual franchise fee, the rest is yours.
The more you put in, the more you get out.
💡 Sound Like You?
We’re looking for:
- People who LOVE running
- Storytellers, community-builders, energy-givers
- Locals who know their city and want to share it with others
- Fun, Positive vibes & an inclusive spirit
🎉 Perks:
- Run your own business under a supportive, playful global brand

ABOUT US.
For runners of ALL abilities, RUN OF A KIND is the first and only running tour team in the West Midlands. We help runners explore Birmingham, so that they can learn, socialise and have fun whilst keeping fit.
We’ve connected hundreds of (mainly local - which is unusual for a tour biz!) runners to each other and Birmingham and have also donned a fair few of them in uplifting orange Brum-inspired Activewear.
Since launching amidst a pandemic in July 2020, new opportunities have been flying our way quicker than Usain Bolt after 20 chicken nuggets. We’re honored to also be providing:
Active Tours (Running & Walking);
Bespoke Group Tours;
Beginner Running Programmes;
Virtual Bingo Style Running Challenges;
Fun running activity sessions for children;
Activewear.
We are going to take Run of a Kind to new Cities and grow our community of awesome runners in Birmingham and beyond. We’ve got big plans, which is why we need you.
