Traditionally, the marathon EXPO is an integral part of the Košice Peace Marathon.
It offers visitors a rich accompanying program, non-stop information about current events, but especially a varied offer of sports equipment and services for recreational and professional athletes.
The EXPO is located in the modern premises of the Kasárne Kulturpark area, which are also the place for the presentation of all participants. Exhibitors thus have the opportunity to address thousands of active participants of the marathon, who receive their start packages right at this location, as well as the general public who move around in this frequented area.
