As The Running Event marks its twentieth anniversary, some of the most influential leaders in run specialty take the mainstage to reflect on what has stood the test of time. This special presentation kicks off the event by looking back on two decades of running – the business decisions that paid off, or didn’t, the fundamentals worth repeating, and the hard-won lessons that still apply today. Along the way, the panel will share what it’s taken to build resilient businesses and careers, and lead through more than two decades of change and growth. Moderated by Jim Weber, former CEO of Brooks, the panel features Parker Karnan, Founder of Karnan Associates; Ted Metellus, Chief Event Production Officer and Race Director of New York Road Runners; and Betsy Hughes, Co-Owner of Track Shack. Whether you’re a retail store owner, buyer, event director or emerging brand, you’ll leave with twenty proven, ready-to-apply ideas – and the inspiration to bring these lessons back into your business.
