Cleveland, Ohio, the home of rock and roll, is about to witness a different kind of rhythm on May 1, 2024. TAPPI is set to host its 19th Annual Runnability Fun Run/Walk, a highlight of TAPPICon 2024 – the comprehensive technical conference that brings together paper/packaging/tissue professionals and academics from around the world.

The theme of TAPPICon 2024, "Rock the Roll! Unleashing the Harmonies of the Paper Industry," perfectly captures the essence of this dynamic event that merges the world of paper with the spirit of rock and roll. But what makes the annual 5K Run/1.5K Walk so special? Well, it's not just about breaking a sweat; it's about contributing to a noble cause. All proceeds from this high-energy event go toward supporting TAPPI's Scholarship Fund, contributing to the education and development of future leaders in the paper industry. So, lace up those running shoes, and get ready to hit the pavement with a purpose!
