The Aussie Aths Fans Supporters’ Tour is an initiative of Jump Media & Marketing’s David and Samantha Culbert and was successfully launched with a 67-person tour to the IAAF World Championships in Beijing in 2015. The London 2017 Tour was equally successful with 65 Aussie Aths Fans enjoying an incredible ten days in the British capital.

 

As was the case in London, the tour to Doha will be delivered in partnership with Mummu Sport.
