TRE embraces San Antonio, Texas as new home for 2025 conference and trade show PORTLAND, Maine

(August 6, 2024) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – The Running Event (TRE), the leading run and outdoor specialty retail conference and trade show in North America, is excited to announce that TRE 2025 will be held in San Antonio, TX. After extensive research, TRE selected San Antonio as the ideal new location to support brands, partners, retailers, and the running industry as a whole. The move will keep TRE in an accessible location while helping ensure a fun, welcoming environment as well as affordability for brands and retailers alike.

“Our team is thrilled to be moving to San Antonio in 2025,” said Christina Henderson, TRE Event Director. “We weighed many options in our search for a new home, and San Antonio was the clear choice. From the convention center and surrounding hotels to the city’s overall atmosphere and energy, San Antonio will welcome our TRE community with open arms.”

TRE’s location change is a result of the Austin Convention Center undergoing largescale updates over the next several years. San Antonio emerged as a natural choice thanks to its robust travel infrastructure, general affordability, and ideal size to preserve the intimate feel of the event. The city is large enough to provide partners with necessary services yet small enough to maintain the community-based nature that makes TRE such a special trade show.

The city of San Antonio is celebrating the move as well.

“For one week, San Antonio will be the epicenter of the running world,” said San Antonio Sports President & CEO, Jenny Carnes. “We’re thrilled that The Running Event will bring all things running to San Antonio, and we are honored to host them in the Alamo City. The running industry will get to experience unique trails throughout the city and the festive spirit of our downtown during the holidays. There’s no more beautiful time or better place to run.”

The Running Event 2024 (November 19-21) will take place at the Austin Convention Center in Austin, TX, marking the event’s last year in Austin for the foreseeable future.

Henderson adds, “Austin has been a wonderful host to TRE for the last many years, and we can’t wait to hold one more TRE in the city that has been fundamental to the growth of the event and industry.”
