After two years of hosting iGaming & TECH Run-Off Challenges that brought the industry together through fitness, wellness, and camaraderie, HIPTHER Agency has officially launched the HIPTHER Movement. This new initiative aims to create a space “where community meets endurance.”
Since 2023, HIPTHER has integrated fitness and wellness activities into its events. Its summits have featured “Morning Networking Run” and “Morning Yoga” sessions. Participants have warmly welcomed these chances to strengthen relationships and refresh their bodies and minds before busy conference days, according to the agency.
In 2024, HIPTHER launched the iGaming and TECH Run Club on Strava and introduced the iGaming & TECH Run-Offs. These challenges include Summer and Winter editions running through 2024 and 2025. Many professionals from gaming and tech joined the club. To boost excitement, HIPTHER offered prizes to the top three runners in both the Female and Male categories. GameOn sponsors the prizes.
Now, with the launch of HIPTHER Movement, the initiative has grown into a wellness community. It features year-round running and cycling challenges that connect industry professionals. HIPTHER said the Movement welcomes everyone—from those chasing personal records to those who simply enjoy staying active.
The community has grown to over 100 members. Participants can track their progress, compete on leaderboards, and review past results. The challenges range from virtual sprints to multi-week endurance events. HIPTHER describes this as building momentum for the industry “one stride and one pedal stroke at a time.”
Zoltan Tuendik, Co-Founder of HIPTHER, said, “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.”
He added, “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.”
The Summer Run-Off Challenge and Summer Spin-Off Challenge, both sponsored by GameOn, began on June 9 and will run until September 7, 2025.
The Summer Run-Off Challenge, hosted by the iGaming and TECH Run Club, invites runners to compete through the summer for rewards. The top three finishers will receive exclusive performance gear. Surprise gifts will be awarded to the top male and female participants. Fourth and fifth place winners will get limited edition HIPTHER x GameOn merchandise.
The Summer Spin-Off Challenge, organized by the iGaming and TECH Cycling Club, highlights cycling with similar rewards. The top three cyclists will earn exclusive performance gear. Special gifts will go to the top male and female riders. Fourth and fifth place will receive HIPTHER x GameOn cycling kits.
HIPTHER expressed pride in having GameOn as a sponsor. The agency said GameOn’s support enhances each challenge with better prizes and motivation for the growing community. They emphasized that every mile, ride, and effort truly counts thanks to this partnership.
Those interested can join the iGaming and TECH Run Club and Cycling Club on Strava to participate, track their progress, and connect with other professionals.
