Meet the founders.
Run Love Festival is brought to life by a small but mighty team who combine a love of running, events, and creating memorable experiences.
Kieran runs Great British Tents and is a keen runner who was looking for a passion project to sink his teeth into during the off-season. With a strong background in event infrastructure and logistics, he’s the driving force behind turning the idea into something real (and very well organised).
Fergus joined the project as an experienced event planner with a sharp eye for event selling and infrastructure. He’s the man behind the spreadsheets, timelines and practical details that keep everything running smoothly — making sure nothing is missed and everything shows up where it should.
Tess comes from a background working across multiple music festivals and takes the lead on marketing and brand. From how the festival looks to how it feels online, she’s focused on telling the story, building excitement and making sure the visuals match the energy of the event.

What made you want to start the festival?
I needed something to keep me busy in the winter!
What excites you most about the festival?
Seeing if 3 people can pull off starting a festival, with very little experience between them!
Tess Johnson
What made you want to start the festival?
Having attended/worked at many, many festivals, I’ve always loved their energy, freedom, and excitement. I wanted to bring all that inspiration together into something of my own.
What excites you most about the festival?
What excites me most is seeing people come together to have a truly unique weekend and knowing I played a part in making that happen.

Having the opportunity to create something special and memorable.
