Welcome to the Running.EXPO

We are looking forward to welcoming you on October 3 and 4, 2025 as visitor or exhibitor at our fair, the Running.EXPO, in MOTORWORLD.

Thousands of running lovers will show up and stroll for a long shopping marathon. Besides running shoes and fitting apparel you will be informed about nutrition, health, etc.

This is what the Running.EXPO will stand for. The fair will present approximately 60 partners of the running scene from Germany and abroad. The entry will be free of charge for all visitors.

Location

Since 2018 the automobile MOTORWORLD Cologne service centre has been running on the compound of the historic airport Am Butzweilerhof.

The former hangars now house restaurants, conference and conventions rooms as well as a permanent car exhibition, the latter being one of the main attractions of MOTORWORLD. Year-round oldtimers, sport cars and super sport cars, but also race driver Michael Schumacher’s private car collection are presented. The entry is free.

The Running.EXPO will take place in the impressive and multifunctional event location „4 TAKT Hangar“ of MOTORWORLD Cologne. This versatile 2,300 sq.m. hall has 11 metres tall.
