THE EXPO

Welcome to the Expo

This is the place where the race really begins. It's where you collect your racebag and your bib – and meet the 65.000 runners you will compete against to win the world championship (or give a smile and a thumbs up on the course).

So come and experience the camaraderie of the running community, gather essential race day information, and gear up for success. Don’t miss this vibrant gathering of athletes, vendors, and inspiration.

Let’s make the World Athletics Road Running Championships Copenhagen 2026 an unforgettable experience together.

 

We can’t wait to see you there.
