Calloway commented: “Running has given me so many opportunities to not only connect with people but also build and elevate the community, so it’s incredibly special to return to the Running USA Industry Conference 2027. I’m excited to step onto the main stage as emcee and bring the enthusiasm amongst so many game changers of the running industry. ”
