Running USA 2025

Annual Industry Conference Recap

Our team always has a great time at the annual Running USA Industry Conference, and this year was no different! Presented by Haku, the conference brought together leaders, innovators, and passionate professionals from across the running industry. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals, share best practices, and discuss the trends shaping the future of races and events. Through educational sessions, collaborative workshops, and all the moments in between, we gained valuable insights that will help us continue to elevate our products and services so you can provide your race participants the best experience possible.

This year's conference took place in Louisville, KY, and it was a wonderful place to host the event. The city’s vibrant culture, rich history, and of course world-renowned bourbon distilleries made for a perfect backdrop. We had the chance to explore local sights and enjoy the warm Southern hospitality.  We also had the honor of hosting the happy hour the last night of the conference, which was a fantastic opportunity to unwind and connect with other atendees. We were thrilled to see so many people enjoying the custom whiskey glasses we created for the occasion. Click here for a glimpse of what the glasses looked like in case you missed it.
