Why The Running Conference?
Why become a member of Running Industry Alliance (RIA) and attend The Running Conference presented by haku, 6th to 8th December 2026.
Our industry is built on people.
From CEOs and founders making strategic decisions, to buyers, marketers, store managers, event organisers, product teams, sales professionals and those taking their very first steps into the running industry.
Every role matters.
Every conversation matters.
And every person has something to contribute.
That's why The Running Conference presented by haku exists.
Not because people have to attend.
Because they want to.
They come to TRC to learn. To connect. To challenge their thinking. To discover new opportunities. To strengthen partnerships. To share experiences. To understand what's happening across the industry and help shape what comes next.
Whether you're a senior decision-maker influencing the direction of your business or someone new to the industry looking to build your knowledge and network, The Running Conference is designed with you in mind.
We're proud to bring together retailers, brands, events, charities, communities, governing bodies, technology providers, media, agencies and industry services and suppliers from the UK, Ireland and globally in one place at TRC.
Because when every part of the running industry comes together, we all move forward together.
The Running Conference isn't simply about filling a diary for a few days each year.
It's about investing in our people, our businesses and the future of running > all Running Industry Alliance Members.
We look forward to welcoming the industry again this December, 6th to 8th.
Because people don't come to The Running Conference because they have to.
They come because they want to.
And they leave with new ideas, stronger relationships and a shared ambition to help our industry thrive > together.
