The National Running Show has confirmed the latest high-profile exhibitors and partners to sign up to its inaugural event at the NEC, Birmingham, on 20th and 21st January 2018.
More and more running-related brands are committing to this highly anticipated show that is set to be the event to attend for runners of all ages and abilities. The latest names to come on board are SSE Airtricity Dublin Marathon, Thule, The Medal Hangar Shop and Running Heroes, and they will be joining an impressive line-up of race organisers, sports retailers, motivational speakers, nutrition experts and online communities to inspire and inform runners pre-race season.
Of the new exhibitors, the award-winning SSE Airtricity Dublin Marathon is the largest marathon in Ireland and the fifth largest marathon in Europe, attracting a phenomenal 20,000 runners to the streets of Dublin each October. The single-lap course starts and finishes close to the city centre, and guarantees a friendly Irish welcome as well as a memorable run through an iconic city.
Respected Swedish brand Thule helps sports enthusiasts to transport anything they care for safely, easily and in style, so that they are free to live an active life. From top-of-the-range roof racks and bike trailers to luggage, laptop cases and camera bags, Thule enables people of all passions and pursuits to lead a healthy and active life, from families to outdoor enthusiasts, runners and more.

With over 50 designs to choose from online, for a wide range of sports and pursuits, the medal displays are suitable for the whole family and can be personalised thanks to their engraving service – an ideal gift-buying opportunity for visitors to the show.
The newest partner, Running Heroes, is the world’s first rewards platform for runners. It works by encouraging, enhancing and rewarding its runners so that they become Running Heroes. Users simply connect their favourite running app or GPS watch and automatically earn points with runs to redeem exclusive offers from fantastic brands.
