Registration is open for The Running Conference presented by haku 2026
The UK & Ireland running industry’s leading B2B event returns for its fifth year as registration opens for TRC26
Running Industry Alliance (RIA) has officially opened registration for The Running Conference presented by haku (TRC26) this December (6th to 8th December 2026), bringing together the UK & Ireland running industry alongside a growing European and international community for three days of connection, collaboration and industry advancement.
Now entering its fifth year, TRC26 continues to strengthen its position as the trusted B2B home of the running industry — created by the industry, for the industry.
Exclusively open to Running Industry Alliance (RIA) Members, TRC26 provides a professional and collaborative environment where brands, retailers, events, communities, charities, media, distributors, services and industry leaders come together to share insight, strengthen relationships and help shape the future of the sector.
Built around meaningful business connection and practical industry insight, the conference has become known for its unique member-first approach, combining keynote content, roundtables, workshops, networking experiences and industry collaboration opportunities under one roof.
As the running industry continues to evolve across participation, technology, retail, events, community engagement and consumer behaviour, TRC26 will once again create space for important conversations, fresh thinking and cross-sector collaboration.
Rebecca (Becs) Richardson, Co-Founder & CEO of Running Industry Alliance, said:
“At a time of continued growth, change and opportunity across our industry, meeting in person matters more than ever. Coming together to collaborate, share insight and learn from one another remains essential to sustaining momentum and navigating what comes next — together.
The Running Conference presented by haku continues to be the trusted B2B home of the UK & Ireland running industry, with an ever-growing European and international reach. Now entering its fifth year, TRC26 reflects both the progress of the industry and the strength of the community behind it.
Built by the industry, for the industry, TRC26 continues to evolve in line with what the industry needs most: meaningful connection, practical insight and the space to think beyond the day-to-day. As our community grows, so too does the opportunity to strengthen relationships, unlock new partnerships and create faster, more connected bridges across borders and sectors.
TRC26 isn’t just another conference. It’s where honest conversations happen, ideas take shape, partnerships are formed and the future of our industry is actively shaped. With every attendee being a Running Industry Alliance (RIA) Member, the conference remains a trusted, professional and collaborative environment for meaningful business and long-term industry progress.”
TRC26 will feature a carefully curated programme designed to support business growth, industry collaboration and future-focused discussion, alongside dedicated networking opportunities and industry-led experiences throughout the event.
Further announcements relating to speakers, sessions, activations, partner opportunities and special features will be revealed over the coming months.
