The Running Event (TRE), North America’s premier run specialty retail conference and trade show, today announced the return of TRE LIVE: a dynamic, two-day live broadcast in partnership with PR Project and FloSports. Streaming directly from the 2025 exhibit hall, the broadcast will offer the worldwide running community an unfiltered look at the people, products, and innovative ideas shaping the future of run specialty.
Returning for its third year, TRE LIVE will stream on FloTrack on Wednesday, December 3, and Thursday, December 4, during exhibit hall hours. Viewers can tune in for free via The Running Event’s website and FloTrack’s YouTube and Facebook, all at no cost to viewers. Hosted by Tommie Runz, Aaron Barnett, and Gary Koutsoubos of PR Project, a media collective amplifying the voices of Black, Indigenous, and all People of Color in the running space, the live program will feature dynamic conversations with top brands, athletes, retailers, media, and TRE partners, offering viewers an inside look at the run specialty world. With FloSports’ production and streaming support, TRE LIVE continues to highlight diverse perspectives and celebrate the collective spirit that drives the running industry forward.
New for 2025, “TRE LIVE: On the Go,” will be a dedicated segment that takes audiences off the main stage and directly onto the bustling show floor. This format will deliver an up-close perspective as the PR Project team takes viewers across the show floor for access to brand booths and behind-the-scenes moments, delivering a true sense of the energy in San Antonio.
“We’re thrilled to bring the third edition of TRE LIVE to The Running Event in San Antonio. Over the past two years, TRE LIVE has become a powerful platform for extending the energy of TRE beyond the show floor—connecting brands, retailers, and the broader running community in real time,” said Tommie Runz, Co-Host of the PR Project. “It not only showcases what’s coming to run specialty, but also reinforces why TRE remains such a vital gathering for our industry. TRE LIVE opens the doors of TRE to the entire running world, making the innovations and conversations happening here more accessible, inclusive, and impactful.”
“TRE is the place to be for the biggest names in the industry, and we’re thrilled to be back for another year to stream live from the show floor and capture the voices that will be moving the sport forward,” said Ryan Fenton, GM of FloTrack. “We’ve been building a guest lineup that is going to be of interest to anyone who’s curious about the future of running.”
“TRE LIVE brings the heart of the running industry to life by highlighting its people, stories, and passion in real time,” said Christina Henderson, Event Director of TRE. “We’re thrilled to continue working with PR Project and FloSports to give the broader community a front-row seat to what happens at TRE.”
