Where the global running industry comes together
The International Running Expo (IRX) is Europe’s only dedicated business event for the running industry – bringing together the brands, retailers, distributors, athletes and industry leaders shaping the future of running.
Returning to the RAI Amsterdam on Wednesday 4th & Thursday 5th November, IRX brings 200+ international brands together, showcasing the latest products, innovations and trends transforming the running market. From established industry leaders to emerging brands, it’s the place to discover what’s next, make valuable connections and unlock new opportunities.
But IRX is more than an exhibition. It’s two days built around discovery, connection and inspiration. With expert content, product experiences, networking, activations and opportunities to meet the people driving the industry forward.
And with IRX strategically co-located alongside ISPO, the world’s leading outdoor & winter sports event, visitors can tap into an even bigger international network spanning running, sport, outdoor and active lifestyle.
Discover the products. Meet the people. Make the connections. Shape what’s next.
