Switchback at The Running Event continues to deliver an elevated onsite experience where outdoor specialty retailers can source products, build meaningful peer relationships, and gain industry insights to stay ahead of trends and better serve customers.

Recognizing the growing crossover between the outdoor and running markets, The Running Event launched Switchback at TRE in 2022 as an outdoor specialty showcase.
