Running Industry Alliance (RIA) and Triathlon Industry Association (TIA) Mark First Year of Growth and Collaboration

Running Industry Alliance (RIA) and Triathlon Industry Association (TIA) have proudly marked one year since the start of the strategic collaboration within the RIA network – celebrating growth, collaboration and a shared mission to support the B2B endurance sport sectors.

Founded to serve and connect businesses across the running and triathlon industries, RIA and TIA together now represent over 400 members spanning brands, retailers, events, media, charities, communities, services, suppliers, buying groups, distributors, NGBs and more across the UK, Europe and internationally.

From dedicated Running Retailer Days, the inaugural Triathlon Industry Conference, and The Running Conference presented by haku, through to member-only Online Socials, working groups, in-person networking, data sharing, advocacy, and new initiatives like the upcoming Running Industry Awards 2025, the past 12 months have been defined by collaboration and momentum.

TIA Co-Founder and Board member Gary Roethenbaugh commented: “The strategic collaboration with the wider RIA network has been a pivotal step for TIA. We have seen huge appetite for a dedicated space where the triathlon sector can connect and grow.

“Together, RIA and TIA are shaping stronger industry foundations – providing real-time value for our members and a louder collective voice across running and multisport.”

Both RIA and TIA are focused on continuing to deliver value through their four key pillars: Membership, Events, Awards and Data.
