About
Based on our award-winning National Running Show in the UK, our vision is to create a large-scale, sourcing show for US consumers of all abilities that share a love of running.
The event takes place at the start of the season to allow you to choose and buy the right kit ahead of race season. A utopia for running enthusiasts providing all the inspiration, footwear, apparel, tech, nutrition and advice needed to achieve your running goals.
The show is accessible to all – no matter how far or fast you go and no matter where you are from – this is a place for everyone that loves to run.
Strategic Pillars
Retail
- A range of products and brands for consumers to purchase to suit all budgets and disciplines
- Brands partnering with retail to boost sales at the show
- A very clear marketing message that the show exists as an immersive retail experience
Accessibility
- We have priced the tickets & built the event’s budget to not be reliant on ticket revenue, this means we are able to offer a high volume of complimentary tickets to lower & remove barriers to entry
- The show includes all levels of products and running brands from entry to elite
Education/Inspiration
- Attendees will discover all the latest brands & products
- We promote the array of benefits that being a runner, at any level, has to offer
- Becoming a better runner, in whatever way ‘better’ means to each of our visitors. This could be starting out, getting faster, or running further.
- Working with the brands that work with us, we broadcast athletes stories, tales of endurance and inspirational content to motivate our visitors.
