Larger venue and Presented by Partner Announced for The Running Conference 2025 and 2026
Running Industry Alliance (RIA) is excited to announce that haku, the leading all-in-one platform for endurance events, will continue its Presented By partnership with The Running Conference for the next two years (2025 and 2026). This partnership reinforces a shared commitment to industry innovation and collaboration for RIA and its Members.
In response to exceptional demand, The Running Conference 2025 presented by haku (TRC25) and the Triathlon Industry Conference 2025 (TIC25) will move to a new larger venue: Burleigh Court at Loughborough University West Park, Imago Venues’ flagship hotel and conference venue with state-of-the-art facilities.
The Running Conference 2025 and 2026 – Bigger & Better!
The Running Conference presented by haku (7th to 9th December 2025) and the Triathlon Industry Conference (8th December 2025) will take place at Burleigh Court, offering a larger space to accommodate more RIA and TIA Members, enhanced content, and even greater opportunities for industry collaboration, sharing knowledge, purposeful connections, business growth and networking.
Building on the success of the last two conferences, haku reaffirms its commitment to the UK and European market. As the trusted technology partner for many endurance events globally, haku’s all-in-one platform continues to drive growth and deliver exceptional experiences.
