Everyday runners are being offered the chance to compete alongside elite athletes in the inaugural World Treadmill Championship, a new global 5km event held on treadmills.
The competition is designed to bring together runners of different levels, allowing amateur participants to race in the same championship setting as established elite athletes. It marks the launch of a new format centred on a standard 5km distance.
The event has been presented as an international competition, although no further details about its date, venue, entry process, participating athletes or race format have been provided.
The championship’s next steps will depend on how the event is organised and how many elite and everyday runners take part.
