SAN ANTONIO – Registration for The Running Event (TRE) is now open. The running and outdoors trade show will take over downtown days before the inaugural San Antonio Marathon.
TRE will be held Dec. 2-4 at the Henry B. González Convention Center.

“Bringing The Running Event to a new city marks an exciting milestone for our team and for the running industry,” said TRE Event Director Christina Henderson. “San Antonio offers an incredible, vibrant backdrop for TRE 2025, and we can’t wait for attendees to experience the energy, connection, and inspiration that happens when this community comes together.”

Over 2,500 attendees are expected to descend on downtown to visit more than 300 running and outdoor brands showcasing new technology, apparel and shoes.
“San Antonio has a vibrant and growing running community that’s full of energy and passion, and we have amazing running paths that rival any major city in the US,” said Garrett Sage, owner of iRun Texas.
