Welcome! This year we have levelled up again for our 3rd year of The Running Conference presented by haku and we have taken over the whole of Holywell Park Conference Centre at Loughborough University + added two additional conference days specifically for the Triathlon Industry and Retailers. This year promises to be our biggest and, if we can say so ourselves, our best yet! Do not miss this!

“Bringing the Running Industry and Triathlon Industry together in one central location to meet in person, social network and do business together to support continual growth of the industries, education and encouraging best practice sharing” There is nothing else quite like TRC24 + TIC24.

We have so much in store for you, and over the coming weeks we’ll be launching our "Road to TRC24" mailer series for all registered attendees. This conference is a safe business-to-business (B2B) space and all attendees are fellow Running Industry Alliance (RIA) and / or Triathlon Industry Association (TIA) Members. This means you can relax, chat, network and do business in a member-to-member and face-to-face social business environment.”

We are continuing to offer exceptional added value again this year with all meals included at TRC24 (2 x Breakfast, 2 x Lunch and 2 x Dinner), 2 x drinks receptions, 2 x organised evening social networking events, optional group run and walk activities, free onsite parking, coffee/teas, morning runs, product launches + try ons, activations and return of the PUDS (pop up discovery spaces) + 2 new additional and dedicated conferences, 1st ever Triathlon Industry Conference and Retailer 2.0 Day.

Educational, essential and informative industry content with keynote speakers, fireside chats, hosted expert round tables, presentations, networking, a whole dedicated day of industry research, data and insights (UK, Ireland and Global) and more…
