About Allie Bailey

Ultrarunner, Explorer, Marketeer, Storyteller. All things that I like doing a lot. I'm Chief Test Pilot for Rat Race - that involves going out and testing routes for their bucket list events which include Panama, Namibia and Mongolia. This year we are travelling to Madagascar, Dominica, Greece, Exhuma, and Kamchatka to blaze new trails. When I'm not doing that I'm in the office working on new ideas and routes and talking to anyone that will listen about how amazing our events are. Don;t talk to me. I can be quite convincing. I also like to do a bit of running. Like quite a bit. I work with The National Running show presenting The Ultra Zone and co-present the Bad Boy Running Podcast. In 2020 I was part of the Sport Relief team that took 10 celebrities out to Namibia to cross the desert on bike end foot. Nobody died, so I think we did an OK job. Oddly I came from a really long music industry career. I am a switched on, passionate, enthusiastic, driven and creative marketeer, with a solid track record in delivering results across all genres and media platforms. I worked with artists as diverse as Ed Sheeran, Madness, Kasabian and Rita Ora and still have a contact book bulging with talented creatives from all disciplines, having worked with some of the best managers, music video directors, social media teams and commissioners in the business. I worked on award winning creative campaigns for Madeon and Kasabian and was instrumental in the success of the huge synch for 2016's House of Fraser Christmas campaign, which saw us break a new artist (Grace), selling tracks on her debut single.
