The RIA is committed to helping our members remain competitive in today’s digital world. We are currently the ONLY organization that actively promotes and supports the specialty running channel.

RIA’s premier retailer member benefit - a program that will provide an average of 35% savings on annual freight costs, which translates into higher profits for your store.

We know small businesses are always looking for ways to tighten the ship. Becoming a member means saving money on business services like credit card processing, POS terminals, and free consulting from our commercial leasing partner.

The RIA will continue to support their members to be the best they can possibly be at what they do. We are working with associate members to bring digital opportunities to you, while we plan for in-person training and summits that will hopefully be appropriate in 2021.

KAMRUN (Karnan Associates Marketing services for RUN) takes what makes specialty run special – personalization and service – and we extend it beyond the walls of your store. It is a state-of-the-art marketing technology platform and implementation service, designed to keep specialty run retailers relevant and thriving in our communities for years to come.

The RIA Think Tank is a member-only forum that enables peer-sharing on relevant topics, as well as access to information from fellow members.
