We’re counting down to #TRE26, and we’re especially excited to bring 48 running industry retail owners and employees along with us! Meet the Class of 2026 RUN FORWARD Scholarship, Powered by On recipients!
From building relationships with industry leaders to discovering new brands, sharing ideas, and exploring opportunities for their businesses and careers, this experience is about more than attending an event. It’s about expanding access, opening doors, and ensuring more voices and perspectives are represented in the spaces where the future of running is being shaped.
We can't wait to see the connections, conversations, and opportunities that come out of #TRE26!
“Our partnership with the Running Industry Diversity Coalition reflects our shared belief that real progress requires intentional investment. Watching this initiative continue to grow to a record cohort of 48 scholars at The Running Event this year is an inspiring milestone for our team. Together with RIDC, we are making a real, lasting impact in shaping a more inclusive and vibrant future for the running industry.”
“The RIDC is one of TRE’s longest-standing partners, and our scholarship initiative is such an impactful piece of that partnership,” said Genae Salinas, TRE Event Director. “Sometimes it can take just one introduction, one new idea, or simply a seat in the room to open doors and create opportunity. And a room with more voices and more perspectives creates a stronger running industry.”
