THE EXPO
Your World Championships start in Forum
This is where you pick up your bib number, your T-shirt and your race bag. But the Expo is much more than a practical pick-up point.
This year’s Expo is presented in collaboration with LØBEREN, an Official Event Supporter. Together, we are bringing the running world to Forum in the days leading up to the World Championships.
This is where the anticipation starts to build. Where you meet runners from all over the world, explore running gear, activities, merchandise, food and drink, and feel race day getting closer.
The Expo is a must-see for runners, friends, family and everyone who wants to be part of the World Championships atmosphere.
