What attendees said:
"Runchella is always an incredible experience being surrounded by the best of the best in run specialty. This year I had a blast discovering new brands on Thursday during the emerging brands presentations." Toni Reese, The Running Lab Co-Owner
“Our first year at the show was good! We got a number of new account leads and had the chance to reconnect with some of our current accounts. We definitely plan to attend again next year.” Geoff Tease, Puma Channel Sales Manager
“Runchella creates a unique mindset for retailers and vendors that sets it apart from other shows. Everyone shows up ready to collaborate, work, challenge, and make each other better. The small group format and top-to-tops help encourage that, and every show we all walk out with actionable items that can affect the rest of the year.” Shawn Beitelspacher, Oofos Head of Specialty Sales
