Official Partners
Working with the best
for over 20 years
Over its 20-year history, Nirvana has gone from having a single product offering as the Official Great North Run (World’s biggest half marathon) accommodation partner, to a strategic partner of some of the world’s biggest sporting events and their athletes.
Ironman
Since 2005, we have been proud to be the Official Travel Partner to the European IRONMAN Tour. Whoever finishes first, We’ll call him the IRONMAN. During an awards banquet for the Waikiki Swim Club, John Collins, a Naval Officer stationed in Hawaii, and his wife Judy, began playing with the idea of combining the three toughest endurance races on the island into one race. They decided to issue a challenge to see who the toughest athletes were: swimmers, bikers, or runners. On February 18, 1978, 15 competitors, including Collins, came to the shores of Waikiki to take on the first-ever IRONMAN challenge.
British triathlon
Since 2002, we have been proud to be the Official British Triathlon Federation Age-Group Team Travel Supplier. British Triathlon is now a Federation, whose members are the Home Nation’s Associations of Triathlon England, triathlonscotland and Welsh Triathlon. British Triathlon is responsible for matters such as the Great Britain Elite, Paratriathlon and Age-Group Teams, British and International events, Anti-Doping and International Representation.

Great run
Since 1999, we have been proud to be the Official Travel Supplier to the Great Run Event Series (which includes the World’s Greatest Half Marathon…The Great North Run). The Great Run Company specialise in the development, design, Organisation and rights management of mass participation and televised sporting events. The journey began with Brendan Foster (Chairman) being inspired to take up running after watching a barefoot Abebe Bikila win the 1960 Olympic Marathon in Rome. During his time as an athlete he ran in the Round the Bays event in New Zealand, and decided to bring the concept back to his native North East. From its flagship Great North Run event, the company has grown to consist of a portfolio of events that now extend over multiple days and include not just mass participation events but family activity, with elite competition on the Great CityGames track and associated Great Swim and Great Cycle events.
