Sportograf has been confirmed as the Official Photography Partner and Global Partner for The Running Conference presented by haku 2026.
Organised by Running Industry Alliance (RIA), the conference takes place on December 6–8, 2026, at Burleigh Court, Loughborough University, UK. The event marks the fifth edition of the annual business-to-business gathering for RIA members across the UK, Ireland, Europe, and internationally.
Sportograf previously partnered with RIA for the 2025 conference. Alongside sister company MarathonFoto, the two brands photograph more than 2 million athletes globally each year.

Becs Richardson, Chief Executive Officer at Running Industry Alliance, said “We are thrilled to welcome Sportograf back for TRC26 and to continue what has become a really strong partnership. Sportograf understands the emotion, energy and community that sits behind participation in sport, and that makes them a brilliant fit for The Running Conference.
“As we celebrate our fifth conference, TRC26 is bringing together an increasingly international RIA community, and it’s fantastic to have Sportograf with us again to capture the people, conversations and connections that make the event what it is.”
Benedikt Biesemeier, Chief Executive Officer at Sportograf, said “We’re proud to continue our partnership with The Running Conference and to support RIA in delivering another exceptional annual member event. Our team is looking forward to being back at TRC26 and documenting the moments that matter across three days of industry insight, connection and celebration.”
