That attendance number topped last year&#8217;s total of around 800, which bodes well for the young event\u2019s future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s exceeded my expectations,\u201d Itzler, who created the event through his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alldayrunningco.com\/\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"(opens in a new tab)\">All Day Running Co<\/a>., told Athletech News amid the festivities last weekend. \u201cI\u2019ve been doing races for 35 years and there\u2019s definitely no running race in the world like it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/athletechnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/RM-x-Macademic-Media-Day-Two-118-861x1024.webp\" alt=\"Jesse Itzler and others at Runningman 2024\" class=\"wp-image-111522\" style=\"width:401px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jesse Itzler at Runningman 2024 (credit: All Day Running Co.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The three-day event revolved around a choose-your-distance race held on Saturday, with attendees able to pick between 5k, 10k, half-marathon, full marathon and 50k distances. Participants ran a combined 11,335 miles, with 90% of attendees running further than their initial distance goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Itzler, that speaks to the power of an event like Runningman, which prioritizes camaraderie over competition, and encourages people to push their limits without demanding that they do so.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is the perfect environment to do a long race,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Woodstock of Wellness<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At its core, Runningman is about more than just running \u2013 it\u2019s an entire wellness festival held over three days, complete with camping tents, immersive experiences and community. Itzler has called it the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/athletechnews.com\/ceo-corner-jesse-itzler-runningman-woodstock-of-wellness-exclusive-interview\/\">Woodstock of wellness<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Kingston Downs, the one-mile-long track\u2019s infield featured the world\u2019s largest indoor sauna, a massive pop-up sauna where people could relax after their run (or in between laps). Just outside the sauna, cold plunge tubs from <a href=\"https:\/\/athletechnews.com\/product-of-the-week-plunge-air\/\">Plunge<\/a> were set up for those seeking contrast therapy. Nearby, guests could try out <a href=\"https:\/\/athletechnews.com\/hyperice-normatec-elite-wireless-ultra-portable\/\">Hyperice products<\/a> including the brand\u2019s famous Hypervolt massage guns and popular Normatec boots.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In total, 59 brands showcased their products at the event, including AG1, Athletic Brewing, Centr, Dream Performance &amp; Recovery, Kane Footwear, Liquid Death, Red Bull and Zico, to name just a handful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/athletechnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/RM-x-Macademic-Media-Day-Two-362-803x1024.webp\" alt=\"party at indoor sauna at Runningman 2024\" class=\"wp-image-111521\" style=\"width:412px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">People gather in the indoor sauna at Runningman 2024 (credit: All Day Running Co.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Runningman 2024 also featured panel discussions on important health and wellness topics including breathwork, sleep science and mental health. Mike Posner performed live on Saturday night, and Itzler himself delivered opening and closing remarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Rise of Experiential Wellness<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there may not be another event in the world that\u2019s quite like Runningman, other brands are tapping into the rise of experiential wellness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This past summer, SoulCycle held its <a href=\"https:\/\/athletechnews.com\/soulcycle-wellness-weekend-hamptons\/\">first-ever wellness weekend<\/a> in The Hamptons. The three-day event featured a live workout held at the indoor cycling brand\u2019s Bridgehampton Barn studio and wellness activations from brands including Hyperice and Allyoos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strong New York, a fitness and wellness community created by personal trainer Kenny Santucci, <a href=\"https:\/\/athletechnews.com\/strong-new-york-and-tone-house-lift-off-join-forces\/\">will stage its eighth annual exposition<\/a> next month in Manhattan. Strong NY also held its own wellness retreat earlier this year, with programming that included running, bootcamp and yoga sessions, and recovery services like cold plunge and sauna.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for Runningman, Itzler expects the event to get bigger and bigger. Based on his <a href=\"https:\/\/jesseitzler.com\/pages\/jesses-journey\">track record in entrepreneurship<\/a>, there\u2019s reason to believe it might.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAny project that you have, you want to start small \u2013 not that this is small \u2013 but you want to think really big, and then you want to go fast,\u201d Itzler told ATN. \u201cWe\u2019ve learned so much with two years under our belt that next year we can kick it up a notch.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"More than 1,000 people attended Runningman 2024, a 3-day event featuring a choose-your-distance race and the world&#8217;s largest indoor sauna.","protected":false},"author":59,"featured_media":111520,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"disable_comments":false,"pmpro_default_level":"","tpd_franchise_content":"","hide_featured_img_single_post":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"tpd_featured_video":[],"tpd_sponsored_post_logo":"","tpd_sponsored_post_logo_link":"","tpd_sponsored_post_logo_width":0,"tpd_sponsored_enable_nofollow":true,"tpd_disable_incontent_ads":false,"tpd_disable_right_rail_ads":false,"tpd_disable_after_content_ads":false,"tpd_disable_header_ads":false,"tpd_disable_sticky_footer_ads":false,"tpd_disable_video_ads":false,"tpd_disable_outbrain":false,"tpd_affiliate_disclaimer":[],"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[214],"tags":[488,5302,3843,1515,5303,5351,2670],"post-options":[],"vertical":[],"coauthors":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-111509","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wellness","8":"tag-hyperice","9":"tag-jesse-itzler","10":"tag-plunge","11":"tag-running","12":"tag-runningman","13":"tag-sauna","14":"tag-wellness-trends","15":"pmpro-has-access"},"acf":[],"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/athletechnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/RM-x-Macademic-Media-Day-Two-009-1180x729.webp","author_name":"josh-liberatore","author_avatar":"https:\/\/athletechnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/cropped-Josh-Headshot-96x96.png","primary_category":{"term_id":214,"name":"Wellness","slug":"wellness","taxonomy":"category","url":"https:\/\/athletechnews.com\/category\/wellness\/"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v26.8) -
