The Running Industry Awards 2025, in partnership with Running Industry Alliance (RIA), RunEvents and England Athletics, have officially entered the final stage, with three finalists selected per category and final voting under way.
The Running Industry Awards aim to celebrate excellence, innovation, and impact across all sectors of the running industry – from brands and retail to events, charity, community, tech, media, and beyond.
There are 18 awards across 11 categories. These are designed to shine a light on those driving the sport and business of running forward, fostering collaboration, recognition, and progress across the industry.
Following a strong response during the first round of voting, the top three finalists in each category have now been revealed – listed in alphabetical order to ensure fairness and transparency throughout the process.
The second and final round of voting is now live and runs from October 17, 2025 to November 7, 2025, giving the running community the chance to decide the ultimate winners across all categories.
The award organisers note that voting is free and open to everyone, and every vote counts in celebrating the individuals, brands, events, retailers, and innovations shaping the future of the running industry.
The winners will be announced live on stage at the Running Industry Awards Gala Dinner and Ceremony, bringing the industry together for an evening of recognition, inspiration, and connection.
Running Industry Awards 2025 take place at Burleigh Court as a stand-alone event for RIA / TIA Members and non-members at Loughborough University on Tuesday December 9, 2025 after The Running Conference presented by haku.
