We are delighted to confirm that the Running Industry Alliance (RIA) has partnered with the Adventure Sports Events Conference. This new partnership confirms the growing importance of these two relatively new organizations and how they are helping to shape the future of the running industry.

Following the tragic death of a participant taking part in the PTL at the UTMB earlier this month, Shane Ohly from Ourea Events reflects on the risk inherent in mountain running.

ASEC returns for 2022 with another impressive set of speakers bringing to life the challenges faced by adventure sports events organisers. Join for an amazing industry day in association with the Kendal Mountain Festival.

The inaugural Adventure Sports Events Conference took place on Friday 19th November 2021 in association with the Kendal Mountain Festival. It was an international affair with race organisers from across Europe attending to hear the conference speakers, share good practice and enjoy informal networking opportunities.

In association with the Kendal Mountain Festival, Shane Ohly of Ourea Events and James Thurlow of Open Adventure and Open Tracking are inviting event organisers to the first industry conference aimed specifically at those who organise adventure sports events on Friday 19th November 2021.
