Adizero: Road to Records

Adizero: Road to Records is an annual elite running event hosted at the global headquarters of adidas in Herzogenaurach, Germany. Established in 2021, it is usually held at the end of April across a single day.

The event is split across six road races – male and female editions of the 5K run, 10K run, and half marathon, with all races taking place on a course within the adidas campus.

Four world records have been set at Road to Records. In the inaugural 2021 edition women's 5km, Senbere Teferi set a new global best of 14:29, while Agnes Tirop ran 30:01 in the women’s 10km. In 2024, Ethiopia's Medina set a new women's U20 5km record (14:46), while compatriot Senayet Getachew did the same in the women's U20 10km (30:34).

Other notable records have fallen at the event. In 2022, Italy’s Yemaneberhan Crippa broke the men’s 5km European record, while the men’s 10km race saw five athletes finish inside 27 minutes for the first time ever. In total, nine runners set new national records – including Nicholas Kimeli, who broke Kenya’s 22-year-old 5km record with a 12:55 run. At the time, it made him the third-fastest over that distance in history.
