Passionate About Great Experiences
Headquartered in Southern California, New Global Adventures is a global service of software, media, and event entertainment company dedicated to making great experiences for the athletic and running industry around the world. We are creative folks who enjoy being healthy and sharing great experiences
OUR MISSION
To create great race events that provide runners and athletes with a unique, one-of-a-kind experience in great world locations. By hosting race events off the beaten path, participants are able to experience new locations, sights, and sounds that would not normally be seen by an average traveler, tourist, or even possibly a local runner. Making for a magical experience that will create incredible lifetime memories that will live on forever to share with friends and family.
Our vision is focused on creating excellent experiences for everyone that touches our work, be it one of our events or a client. From local hosted races in our neighborhood, to an exotic bucket list race in the Himalayan mountains of China, to a client's online business. We always take into perspective the whole experience and each individual engagement point that contributes to the overall experience. Each touch point should be exceptional, from visiting a website, making a purchase, receiving material goods, getting the race BIB and shirt, running the race, to receiving a fantastic medal, to the individual communications between participants and the event team.
Our commitment is to the runners and people participating in these events. Be it the runners, spectators, support crew, sponsors, or volunteers. Always asking ourselves, “How will this impact the experience?”, the outcome has to be positive, or we won’t do it. Every touch point is an opportunity to do something great that represents the brand and contributes to making a unique experience. It is never worth it to settle for average when you can lead by example to do it great.
We strive to make these experiences as seamless as possible so runners can focus on what they do best: run. Seeing the smile on runners' faces as they cross the finish line, that is why New Global Adventures exists.
Running is about more than just putting one foot in front of the other; it is about our lifestyle and who we are.

GLOBAL WELLNESS DISCOVERY
Through the process of creating great experiences for runners, it allows us to give back to the world and help people.
We have created a non-profit organization under Global Wellness Discovery. This encompasses our overarching goal to help people through spirituality, mental, and physical well-being.
While each person's path toward wellness is unique, we believe that focusing on the following areas can provide a powerful foundation for growth and improvement. Our mission is to provide meaningful opportunities for individuals to promote overall wellness through three core pillars.
- Spiritual Wellness
- Physical Wellness
- Mental Wellness
Never underestimate the power of dreams and the influence of the human spirit. We are all the same in this notion: The potential for greatness lives within each of us.
—Wilma Rudolph
Additionally, New Global Adventures supports and donates to causes for the establishment of primary schools in rural areas in need. We provide the resources and tools to build new schools and deliver educational materials such as books, tablets, and equipment. Giving the children in need the resources and power to learn and grow. We are starting small and will be growing this cause as contributions grow and as our events grow. By participating in our events, you are helping to support and contribute towards these goals.
THE FOUNDERS
Founded by Terry and Jenny Majamäki, we are enthusiastic runners whose background and experience are founded in online technology, focused on creative design, user experience, software engineering, web design, and development to create great websites and mobile apps. Combined, we have contributed to great success for a variety of brands including but not limited to Microsoft, Live Nation, Jeunesse Global, Move, P90X, Insanity, Shakeology, Beachbody, and many more.
We are passionate about running. Over the last decade, they have been part of the growing running trend, using running as a means to get in shape and stay healthy. Through our desire to run, we participated in several marathon and ultra events. In addition to being runners, we have also volunteered to help support and organize various events. Over the years, we partnered with The Great Wall of China Marathon to help organize and promote the event, leading up to one of their most successful races to date in 2014. We also support, pace, and crew for friends running long-distance races, most recently for veteran Finnish runner Jussi Hamalainen at the Angeles Crest 100 Mile Endurance Run.
Through creative design, writing, photography, and technology, New Global Adventures establishes compelling online branding and experiences to attract runners to participate in one-of-a-kind events. Responsible for creating websites that educate and promote the event, while providing the technology to securely take registrations and transactions online. Utilizing the combination of the company's passion for running, creativity, technology, and event hosting, New Global Adventures is able to help create unique race events that stand out from the crowd and attract the attention of runners around the world.
Sport, like all life, is about taking your chances.
