After two years of iGaming & TECH Run-Off Challenges uniting the industry in fitness, wellness, and camaraderie, HIPTHER Agency has announced the official launch of HIPTHER Movement – an initiative "where Community meets endurance."
HIPTHER has incorporated fitness and wellness networking initiatives across its events since 2023. The "Morning Networking Run" and "Morning Yoga" sessions have been a part of their summits since that year, with the participants "warmly embracing these opportunities to nurture relationships, body, and soul, ahead of a busy conference day," according to the media hub and events organizer.
In 2024, HIPTHER launched the iGaming and TECH Run Club on Strava and kicked off the iGaming & TECH Run-Offs, with the Summer and Winter editions spanning 2024 and 2025.
"Many brilliant minds and athletic spirits from gaming and tech joined the Club, and spurred with this momentum of excitement, HIPTHER raised the game, offering exciting prizes at the end of each Challenge to the Top 3 runners in the Female and Male Categories, with the support of GameOn as a Sponsor," Hipther stated.
Now, with the launch of HIPTHER Movement, this fitness initiative evolves into a wellness community powered by year-round running and cycling challenges that bring together industry professionals.
"Whether you're chasing a personal best or simply enjoy the grind, the HIPTHER Movement is your new home for HIPTHER-powered challenges hosted under the iGaming and TECH Run Club and Cycling Club on Strava," the agency said.
With over 100 members and counting, participants can track their progress, climb the leaderboard, and revisit the results from past events. "From virtual sprints to multi-week challenges of endurance, HIPTHER fuels industry momentum – one stride and one pedal stroke at a time," reads the announcement.
Zoltan Tuendik, Co-Founder of HIPTHER, stated: "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.”

The Summer Spin-Off Challenge, run via the iGaming and TECH Cycling Club, puts pedal power in the spotlight with these rewards:
"HIPTHER is proud to have GameOn as a sponsor of the HIPTHER Movement. Their support helps level up each challenge with better prizes, bigger energy, and even more motivation for the growing community. With GameOn’s backing – and HIPTHER’s commitment to wellness and engagement – every mile, every ride, and every personal effort truly counts," the agency concluded.
