From a world record at the Road World Running Championships in Copenhagen to a pair of freshmen rewriting the record books in Terre Haute, the weekend delivered standout performances across the roads, track, and cross country course.

Whenever Jakob Ingebrigtsen decides to run – or speak – the world watches. This week, the world will be watching Copenhagen, as Ingebrigtsen and hundreds of other elite runners are slated to compete at the 2026 World Road Running Championships.

The second edition of the World Athletics Road Running Championships is taking place this weekend in Copenhagen, Denmark. The two-day event features three races: the Mile and 5K on Saturday, September 19, and the Half Marathon on Sunday, September 20. 496 athletes will compete for glory, headlined by Jakob Ingebrigtsen, Yared Nuguse, Agnes Ngetich, and more.

All eyes will be on Faith Kipyegon when the multiple-time Olympic and World champion lines up for the women's 3000m at the Monaco Diamond League.
