Three Weeks To Go!
The Running USA Industry Conference is right around the corner. With three weeks to go, we're in our own final stages of event preparation and are truly excited with how this year's event continues to shape up. With so many incredible opportunities to learn, connect and celebrate, we want to share a few updates so you don't miss out on any of the action.
Registration Price Goes Up January 16th
The Running USA Industry Conference pricing goes up on Friday, January 16, as it shifts from $699 to $749 for members and $899 to $949 for non-members Get in on the savings and register for this year's memorable event.
Industry Innovation Showcase and Expo
Our Industry Innovation Showcase, where companies share their products, gear and technology for 15-minutes to attendees, has a few additional spots available for featured presenters. This is an opportunity those looking to connect race directors with their products and services should take advantage of. If interested, please reach out to Rich Harshbarger at rich@runningusa.org.
Similarly, we only have a handful of booths left for the expo, where over 500 conference attendees spend time searching for race options for the year ahead. Get in on the action today and contact Rich to find out how to register.
Help Grow the Sport of Running
As in years past, we're fundraising to support the sport of distance running. Unlike years past, we're taking a bit of a different approach this year. Running USA has a strong history of supporting other non-profit running entities and this year's fundraising effort adopts a grassroots approach open to donors at all funding levels. We're asking anyone who loves runners and the sport of running to join us in supporting this great cause.
