WELCOME TO TRE 2018 O
n behalf of The Running Event team and Diversified Communications, we welcome you back to Austin and look forward to an exciting and productive
show. We are very proud of this year’s event and the many exciting programs we have planned to celebrate the specialty running channel. This year’s event would not have been possible without the vision of our colleagues and friends Mark Sullivan and Troy Leonard. They have been extremely generous in sharing their long-time relationships with exhibitors, store owners and thought leaders. They have shown us many times what makes The
Bill Springer EVP, Diversified Communications bspringer@divcom.com
Running Event so special. In the past six months, I’ve had the good fortune to meet with a number of key players in the industry. It was a busy summer, but I certainly enjoyed meeting so many passionate people committed to their customers’ health and wellbeing. These meetings have only enhanced our desire to continue to deliver an outstanding event to all stakeholders. As you may have heard, we are bringing some exciting new features to this year’s event. Last year’s bra salon was a success, so we’re expanding it to include a full athleisure storefront. We’re adding the Trailhead Stage, devoted to the growing, changing trail business, with support from the American Trail Running Association. And I hope to see you at the Annual Indie 5K — run this year at Hancock Golf Course, one of Texas’s oldest and most historic courses. It

Patty Kelly
The Last Numbers Presentation You’ll Ever Need to Sit Through Presented by Neil Schwartz and Patty Kelly, SportsOneSource Experts from SportsOneSource share data and insights on the running business, what’s going on in all retail channels and what it means for the future of the run specialty store.
What Every Retailer Needs to Know About 2019 Presented by Parker Karnan, Karnan Associates Parker Karnan
Parker Karnan has worked with hundreds of business owners and learned the inherent challenges entrepreneurs face as they work to create a thriving business. His devotion to the Run Specialty Industry allows him to understand how businesses successfully adapt to compete with today’s retail environment. To Parker, it’s less about what you know now and more about what you will figure out next. Making the correct decision about what to do next is what separates good from great for specialty retailers.

Back to the Future: Lydiard Principles for the Modern Runner and Retail Store Presented by Mark Cucuzzella MD, FAAFP, and Lorraine Moller, 1984 Boston Marathon Champion, 1992 Olympic Marathon Bronze Medalist
Lorraine Moller
Pain free, healthy and sustainable physical activity is essential for what JFK described as “the vigorous life.” During the same era and born out of cardiac rehab, the Lydiard Principles became the foundation for modern elite running endurance training and, more importantly, introduced “jogging” to the world. The seminar will re-introduce the Lydiard Method and share the essentials to best help your customers meet their performance and fitness goals.
Connecting Communites, Customers and Categories Blaine and Robin Lewis

How Walking Across America Affected my Retail Sensibility Presented by Tom Griffen Darren Brown
Tom Griffen
In 2018, Tom walked across America. Wore out seven pairs of shoes and ate way too much pizza between Santa Monica, CA and Coney Island, NY. Covered 3410 miles in 205 days. Set out to achieve a personal goal, but quickly learned the walk wasn’t about him at all. It was more about the people he genuinely connected with along the way — a detail he couldn’t help but liken to what it means to be a good retailer.
Understanding Customers Better to Personalize Messaging and Marketing Presented by Dean Gill, Upper Quadrant
Dean Gill
As a passionate runner himself, there are few things Dean enjoys more than helping running stores grow their businesses, and he has always kept his philosophy simple: Listen to the client. While that may sound simplistic, Dean knows there is nothing more important than getting a feel for the cause of a specific challenge or issue. Dean helps companies combine their data to use it in new ways do drive business forward.
Modern Marketing for Races Presented by Tim and Jessica Murphy, BibRave
Tim and Jessica Murphy

RUNNING COMPANIES MAY LIE. RUNNING DOESN’T.
So many shoe companies. Dishing out so many marketing claims. It’s exhausting. But we don’t make promises, we make shoes. For runners. And runners need shoes that actually perform. Which is where our foam comes in. Don’t believe us? Try on a pair, and let the running do the selling.

The Beer Plant 3110 Windsor Road Plant-based eating at its finest. Fermented items like breads, pickled vegetables and cultured vegan cheeses and butter. Try some of their “bar food” for a real, treat.
Blue Dahlia Bistro 1115 E 11th Street Small bites, tartines, salads and soups. Simple, fresh, organic and local. What more could you ask for?
Forthright 98 San Jacinto Boulevard New American Café staples, salads and breakfasts are a healthy must.
CRAVING THAT SMOKY FLAVOR? Iron Works BBQ E Ceasar Chavez Boulevard
The Beer Plant
No fuss, amazing barbeque close enough to the Convention Center you could hit it with a rock. School-cafeteria feel, but, thankfully, the food is infinitely better.
Terry Black’s Barbeque 1003 Barton Springs Road Fourth generation pitmasters serve up classic pit-smoked meats and homemade sides. Need we say more?
Lamberts 401 W 2nd Street The Forthright Cafe
Iron Works BBQ
Lamberts is probably the fanciest barbeque joint you’ll ever go to, but it’s brought to you by the same group that owns June’s, Perla’s, Clark’s and the Josephine House, so you know you’ll leave happy. Plus, there’s live music upstairs.
Franklin Barbeque 9009 E 11th Street

Franklin Barbeque
Can we really talk about BBQ in Austin and not mention Franklin’s? If you can (bribe a friend to) wait in line, you will be rewarded with arguably the best brisket in town. Apparently, their smoked turkey is long-wait worthy.

Elevate your recovery routine with the new TriggerPoint™ CHARGE™ VIBE. This precision engineered vibrating roller combines foam rolling plus vibration to provide a faster, more effective recovery. The CHARGE VIBE is calibrated with three vibration frequencies to relax muscles and increase the comfort of rolling. Designed with the signature CHARGE pattern, the CHARGE VIBE squeezes and stretches muscles as your roll to increase blood and oxygen circulation which results in an accelerated post-workout recovery.

TIENES HAMBRE? Polvos 2004 S 1st Street How can you say no to Tex-Mex fare, a salsa bar and pitchers of margaritas in a perfectly “Austin” zany atmosphere?
Matt’s El Rancho 2613 S Lamar Boulevard An oldie but goodie on the Austin food scene. Matt’s has been serving up the classics since 1952. The enchiladas are a fan favorite.
IT’S IMPORTANT TO STAY HYDRATED…
Matt’s El Rancho
The Cloak Room 1300 Colorado Street This dive bar is hard to find, but is steeped in history and worth a visit. Catch a glimpse of the Capital Building if you want to add something “touristy” to your visit to this part of town.
Nickel City 1133 E 11th Street A neighborhood bar offers up the common, yet well-made classics. Go there when you are craving an Old Fashioned.
Peche 208 W 4th Street Adult milkshakes are just one of the many enjoyable concoctions being mixed up at Peche. However, it’s not the boozy milkshakes, but the nearly 20 varieties of Absinthe that make this downtown spot a notable one.

June’s All Day 1722 S Congress Avenue You almost forget you’re in Texas at June’s. Brunch is unlike any other, their wine list is enviable and, best of all, their atmosphere will make you feel like you are sitting in a café in Europe.
Olamie 1610 San Antonio Street A lovely menu inspired by southern specialties — especially the biscuits. But seriously, the biscuits. They are so good, you need to order 48 hours in advance.
Clark’s
Clark’s 1200 W 6th Street You don’t necessarily think of delicious seafood when you visit Texas, but Clark’s does it right. Pay them a visit and order some Daisy Bay oysters to see what we mean.
