Thank you to everyone who joined us at the inaugural event for The International Running Expo (IRX) powered by SCOTT Sports on 4-5 November 2025.

The two day Expo marked a major milestone for the global running industry as Europe’s first-ever dedicated business event for running professionals.

Drawing thousands of attendees from across Europe and beyond, IRX set a new benchmark for innovation, collaboration, and community within the sport, bringing together brands, retailers, and industry leaders to shape the future of running.

The International Running Expo celebrates its first edition

Building on the momentum from the first edition of The International Running Expo, IRX will return on 4–5 November 2026 to RAI Amsterdam, in Hall 12. This time even bigger and better.

Expect more exhibitors, more visitors, and more interactive features that will elevate the experience to an entirely new level. And with the exciting co-location with ISPO, 2026 is set to become a landmark year for the global sports and running industry.

IRX is more than just a tradeshow. From morning runs, yoga sessions, ice baths and the legendary Cool Down Party, attendees got to connect in a variety of different ways. Here’s a few highlights from the 2025 edition.

The International Running Expo brought together a range of cutting-edge gear and ground-breaking innovations. Exhibitors showcased the latest in performance footwear, wearable tech, recovery and injury prevention, apparel, nutrition and accessories.

In-person interactions remain incredibly valuable, they allow for deeper conversations, the chance to physically assess products, and help build trust-based relationships that digital channels can’t always replicate. This is why tradeshows like IRX are a fundamental part of our buying process. ”
