Sports booking start-up Let’s Do This is off to a running start, attracting investment from the likes of tennis star Serena Williams and Olympic champion Usain Bolt.

They say Let’s Do This is now the world’s largest marketplace for mass-participation sports, with 15,000 events, such as marathons and triathlons, listed on the platform.
