THAI BORN. NEXT STOP: SAN ANTONIO.
VING is heading to The Running Event 2026. From 1–3 December, we will join the running and outdoor industry at the Henry B. González Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas, USA.
Our story began with a question: why should a running sandal be impossible? This December, we are taking that question—and the open-foot approach it set in motion—to a wider conversation.
Twenty years of moving the industry forward
The Running Event celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2026. The gathering brings retailers, brands, media and industry specialists together for education, product discovery and connection. Switchback at TRE brings the outdoor community into that conversation alongside running.
From Thai conditions to new conversations
Heat, humidity and time on foot shape how we think about movement. At VING, curiosity starts with those everyday conditions: how a product fits, how it feels in use and what runners tell us after the miles.
Going to TRE is a chance to share that perspective, listen to the people shaping specialist running retail and learn from a broader community. We look forward to meeting the industry in San Antonio.
