Every year, the World Athletics Road Running Championships transforms a host city into the road running capital of the world.
In its latest format, it is now a one-day event that comprises approximately 350 runners from about 55 countries in the world’s most compelling half marathon and 5km road races, as well as offering very popular mass races.
This event presents an excellent opportunity for hosts to harness the prevailing high demand and revenues attached to mass participation to strengthen its road running profile globally.
