Discover Switchback at TRE

Switchback at The Running Event is an opportunity for outdoor retailers and brands to do business, build relationships, and gain valuable industry insights.
Recognizing the crossover between the outdoor and running markets, The Running Event launched Switchback at TRE in 2022 as an outdoor specialty showcase. Now in its fifth year, Switchback at TRE returns this December 1-3 in San Antonio, TX, offering a one-stop-shop to explore top run and outdoor brands under one roof and gain actionable education to advance your business.
“Twenty years of The Running Event is more than a milestone, it’s a testament to the passion and resilience that define this community. Running has always been about more than the miles, and TRE has always been about more than the trade show. This year, we’re honoring two decades of that spirit while setting the stage for everything the running industry has in store.”
