Raccoon Media Group is an exciting and dynamic UK events business run by a group of exhibition and digital marketing experts. We set up Raccoon because we wanted to create exhibitions that offer something new and different in underserved markets that we understand and that we love. We believe that great events are about community, fun, innovation and excitement and we hope that we offer you that with The National Running Show.
