After two exciting years of organizing the iGaming & TECH Run-Off Challenges—bringing the industry together around fitness, wellness, and camaraderie—HIPTHER officially announces the launch of HIPTHER Movement: a space where community meets endurance.
HIPTHER, a leading media hub and events organizer for the Gaming and Technology sectors across Europe and beyond, has incorporated wellness and fitness networking activities into its events since 2023. Sessions such as the Morning Networking Run and Morning Yoga have become staples at their summits, warmly welcomed by participants as a way to nurture body, mind, and meaningful relationships ahead of busy conference days.
iGaming & TECH Run-Off Challenges: Community and Healthy Competition
In 2024, HIPTHER launched the iGaming and TECH Run Club on Strava and kicked off the Run-Off Challenges, with Summer and Winter editions spanning 2024 and 2025. Many professionals from the gaming and tech industries—driven and passionate about movement—joined the initiative.
Inspired by this momentum, HIPTHER elevated the challenge by offering prizes to the top three participants in both female and male categories, thanks to the generous support of GameOn as the official sponsor.
With the launch of HIPTHER Movement, this fitness-oriented initiative now evolves into a dynamic year-round wellness community, hosting running and cycling challenges under the iGaming and TECH Run Club and Cycling Club on Strava. It aims to connect professionals who strive for excellence—on and off the track.
With over 100 active members and growing, participants can track their progress, climb the leaderboard, and revisit past challenge results. From quick virtual sprints to multi-week endurance tests, HIPTHER continues to drive industry momentum—one stride and one pedal stroke at a time.
Zoltan Tuendik, Co-Founder of HIPTHER, shared his thoughts on the initiative:
“The HIPTHER Movement is about more than logging miles or chasing medals. It’s about showing up for yourself, your peers, and your community. In an industry that never slows down, we believe wellness should move with us. From early morning runs to multi-week endurance challenges, we’re creating a culture where progress, connection, and resilience go hand-in-hand. GameOn has helped us take it to the next level, and we’re just getting started.”
