Commuter Films returns as Official Filming Partner of The Running Conference 2026

Running Industry Alliance (RIA) is delighted to confirm that Commuter Films will return as Official Filming Partner of The Running Conference presented by haku (TRC26).

Continuing its partnership for a third consecutive year, Commuter Films will capture the people, connections and conversations at the heart of the RIA Members’ Conference.

The Running Conference presented by haku (TRC26) takes place from 6th to 8th December 2026 at Burleigh Court, Loughborough University, UK. TRC26 is RIA’s annual Members’ Conference, bringing together RIA Members from across the running ecosystem for three days of connection, collaboration, industry insight and business.

Commuter Films is a Midlands-based, full-service production company with roots in sports and technology. As The Running Conference celebrates its fifth edition alongside five years of RIA, Commuter Films will once again capture the people, conversations and shared experiences that make the event such an important fixture in the RIA Member calendar.

Built by the industry, for the industry, RIA creates a dedicated space for its Members to connect, share knowledge, explore opportunities and help shape the future of running. Commuter Films plays an important role in documenting this community and capturing the value of bringing RIA Members together.

Through film, the partnership also helps extend the story of the conference beyond the event itself, reflecting the relationships, ideas and collective ambition that underpin the Running Industry Alliance community.

Becs Richardson, CEO & Co-Founder of Running Industry Alliance, said:

“It's fantastic to have Commuter Films alongside us again for TRC26, continuing our relationship for a third consecutive year.

"The Running Conference is a really important part of our annual RIA Member offering. It's where our community comes together to connect, share insight, build relationships and do business, in a space created specifically for our Members and the running industry we represent.

“Capturing those moments and the people behind them helps us tell the story of RIA and our Members, both during the conference and long after everyone has gone home. As we celebrate five years of RIA and the fifth edition of The Running Conference, it's particularly special to continue working with partners who understand our community and what we are building together.”

Luke Bolton-Wiggs, Co-Founder & Creative Director at Commuter Films, said:

“The Running Conference is one of the best rooms in the industry, full of people who genuinely care about where running is going. Coming back for a third year says a lot about the relationship we’ve built with RIA.

We’re not there just to document the day. The best moments happen in the conversations between sessions, and our job is to catch that and make content that keeps working long after everyone’s gone home. Looking forward to TRC26 and telling more of the members’ stories.”

TRC26 takes place for RIA Members from Sunday 6th to Tuesday 8th December 2026 at Burleigh Court, Loughborough University, UK.

The programme combines curated conference sessions with networking, Member meetings and opportunities for RIA Members to connect and collaborate across the running ecosystem.

The Running Conference presented by haku is delivered by Running Industry Alliance (RIA), the UK and Ireland’s independent B2B trade membership organisation dedicated to connecting and advancing the running industry.
