As the official medal sponsor for the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races, we were honored to attend the 24th annual AIMS world conference last week in Hanoi, Vietnam. The event brought together over 50 of the world’s most prestigious running organizations, creating an incredible opportunity for global networking, knowledge exchange, and collaboration. Members from both our U.S. and Asia teams were thrilled to represent Always Advancing at this significant gathering, where innovation, sustainability, and the future of distance running took center stage.
A big emphasis of the conference was sustainability. As a company committed to reducing environmental impact and supporting the running community with eco-friendly solutions, we’re proud to contribute to the ongoing conversation about sustainability in the events we sponsor. One of our sales reps, Jon Fritz, had the opportunity to speak to the congress about our specific efforts at Always Advancing: medals produced with 100% recycled materials, recycled apparel, and more.
We left the conference energized and more committed than ever to driving positive change in the race industry. As Always Advancing continues to grow and innovate, we remain focused on our mission to deliver exceptional products while prioritizing the health of our planet. We’re excited to continue our work as AIMS’ official medal sponsor, and we look forward to supporting even more races and runners in the years to come with high-quality products that make every step of the journey meaningful.
