Running Industry Alliance (RIA) has confirmed that Commuter Films will return as the Official Filming Partner for The Running Conference presented by haku (TRC26).
The agreement marks the third consecutive year of partnership between the trade organisation and the video production company. TRC26 takes place from December 6–8, 2026, at Burleigh Court, Loughborough University, UK.
The event serves as RIA’s annual members’ conference, bringing together B2B delegates from across the UK, Ireland, and international running sectors for three days of panel sessions, networking, and commercial meetings.
The 2026 edition represents the fifth anniversary of both Running Industry Alliance and The Running Conference.
Commuter Films, a Midlands, UK-based production unit specialising in the sports and technology sectors, will capture video content documenting attendee networking, keynotes, and member interactions to create promotional and archival content following the event.
Becs Richardson, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Running Industry Alliance, said “It’s fantastic to have Commuter Films alongside us again for TRC26, continuing our relationship for a third consecutive year.
“The Running Conference is a really important part of our annual RIA Member offering. It’s where our community comes together to connect, share insight, build relationships and do business, in a space created specifically for our Members and the running industry we represent. Capturing those moments and the people behind them helps us tell the story of RIA and our Members, both during the conference and long after everyone has gone home. As we celebrate five years of RIA and the fifth edition of The Running Conference, it’s particularly special to continue working with partners who understand our community and what we are building together.”
Luke Bolton-Wiggs, Co-Founder and Creative Director at Commuter Films, said “The Running Conference is one of the best rooms in the industry, full of people who genuinely care about where running is going. Coming back for a third year says a lot about the relationship we’ve built with RIA. We’re not there just to document the day.
“The best moments happen in the conversations between sessions, and our job is to catch that and make content that keeps working long after everyone’s gone home. Looking forward to TRC26 and telling more of the members’ stories.”
Running Industry Alliance operates as an independent trade membership organisation for business entities within the running market across the UK and Ireland. Membership applications for the current cycle close on October 31, 2026.
