The Running Event
What is TRE?
Launched in 2006, The Running Event is North America’s largest running specialty trade show. Each year, thousands of industry professionals attend in search of the latest in running footwear, apparel, gear, and services. A diverse trade show floor, valuable educational content, endless networking opportunities, and industry celebration bring run specialty retailers, race directors, and brands together to do business, learn, and enjoy time together.
The running industry thrives on connection—something that has become even more evident over the past year. We can’t wait to come together in person at the 16th Annual TRE, taking place November 29 to December 1, 2022 in Austin, Texas!

Charlotte Apparel
In 1940, a group of salesmen that traveled the Carolinas met in Charlotte at the Hotel Charlotte and out of this meeting emerged the Men’s Apparel Club of the Carolinas, which is referred to by many of the old timers as “the Mac’s.”
Due to a gasoline shortage, prior to the War, the best solution was to have a focal point to hold shows so that both salesmen and retailers could get together to do business. Merchants could carpool in order to come to the shows. This was the beginning of the buying Markets sponsored by the Men’s Apparel Club of the Carolinas.
