We are delighted to bring the inaugural NI Running Show to Belfast in February 2026.
With an expected crowd of over 10,000 across the two days, this is the perfect opportunity to get your brand in front of engaged runners on the look out for products and services to enhance their performance.
What is the NI Running Show?
A ground breaking new live event, the first of its type on the island of Ireland, The NI Running Show launches on 7th February - 8th February 2026 at the Eikon Exhibition Centre, Belfast.
Despite the popularity of running, there is no dedicated running event in Ireland. Runners will now be able to meet and engage with brands and experts, whilst sponsors and commercial partners are put in front of a high spending and qualified audience.
This specialist 2 day event will bring together runners of all abilities to connect, learn, explore and celebrate their achievements.
Who is the NI Running Show for?
The event is designed for runners and would be runners eager to improve their techniques, embrace running relevant health and wellbeing issues, meet and learn from experts, source kit, equipment and nutrition and shop from a selection of exciting brands and products all whilst enjoying an inspiring day out with friends and family.
Over 10,000 visitors will benefit from expert talks, workshops and demos, exclusive shopping whilst enjoying healthy and nutritious food and drink.
