"It's one of the main reasons we were so close," Barker told People in a recent interview while promoting his upcoming Run Travis Run event. "We would always work out together and run together or do stuff like that before we were ever in a relationship — we were workout buddies forever. It was what started it all."
The Blink-182 drummer mentioned that they have continued to stay active together even after welcoming their son Rocky in November 2023. "We'll do Pilates together, we'll carve out a half hour or an hour every day to go out," he said about his routine with the Poosh founder. Barker starts his day by "walking 30 minutes while I consume some sort of audiobook or podcast." He does the same at night because he has always "struggled with sleeping," especially after playing a show when he's "wound up and hyper."

He also shared that he has adopted Kourtney's recipe for a "really good avocado shake." "I stole her shake from her, and I've just made that evolve a little bit and made my own. We're both really into wellness. I introduced her to matcha back in the day. She's introduced me to particular foods." Travis noted that Kourtney follows a vegan diet "about 75 percent of the time." "It's amazing to be with someone that has the same love for wellness," he added. Run Travis Run is set to take place in Los Angeles on Saturday, July 6, and in Queens, New York, on Sunday, July 21.
To promote the event, Travis and Kourtney got into character as Forrest Gump and Jenny, filming a funny promo video. The musician reenacted scenes from Forrest Gump's epic run across the United States, dressing in a short-sleeve plaid shirt, belted khaki pants, and a red ball cap. He runs through a field and down a dirt path as the song "Run Forrest Run" by Alan Silvestri from the 1994 film plays in the background. At one point, he runs past Kourtney, who yells out, "Run, Travis, run!" He captioned the post: "I just felt like running," referencing the line from Forrest Gump when Tom Hanks' character explains why he ran across the United States.

On the event's page, Travis writes: "After my accident in 2008, more than 70% of my body was burnt, and I was told by doctors that I might never walk or play drums the same again. I was never athletic and never played sports, but I had this urge to prove everyone wrong, including myself." "It started with short walks, then short runs every day. I felt a sense of calmness and a rush of dopamine every time I ran. I've kept this up for years, and I always start my day with it. I even run three miles every day before my shows when I'm on tour." "This past year, I ran my first half marathon and participated in a few 5Ks.

I loved how everyone from all walks of life ran together and supported one another. The running community is massive, and it really inspired me to create Run Travis Run as a way to bring like-minded people together. I want to motivate people to get outside and walk or run for a few hours, make healthy decisions, and create healthy habits." "This is what Run Travis Run is built off of, and we are just getting started." The event guide states: "It's official: Travis Barker is hitting the road once again – but this time, it's for running! Experience a day-in-the-life of Travis Barker before he hits the main stage with an entry to Run Travis Run, a run and wellness experience on the morning of his Los Angeles tour stop."
