The place for breaking limits
The Copenhagen Half Marathon is where fast meets festive. It’s a race built for personal bests, unforgettable moments, and a roaring crowd that carries you all the way to the finish. Since its debut in 2015, CPH Half has grown into one of Europe’s most iconic half marathons and a proud stop on the SuperHalfs series. It has sold out for several years in a row.
But this isn’t just about speed. It’s about the feeling. The atmosphere of Copenhagen and the crowd all over the city. The course is flat, wide, and fully closed to traffic, making it a favorite for runners chasing their fastest time. And while you’re running your legs off, you’re also taking in the very best of Copenhagen.
You’ll pass through colorful districts like Nørrebro, Vesterbro, the Inner City, and Frederiksberg Allé — often called the ‘Nordic Champs-Élysées’. You’ll spot national landmarks like Christiansborg Palace, the Marble Church, and the Black Diamond library. All while being surrounded by Power Zones, cheering crowds, and the kind of energy that makes every kilometer count.
The iconic finish line is on Øster Allé and is home to an unbelievable atmosphere. Thousands of spectators line the street, turning your final push into something truly unforgettable.
Copenhagen Half Marathon is more than a race. It’s a celebration of all that you dreamed of.
Ready. Set. Blast.
The Copenhagen Half Marathon is a race that’s known around the world for its world record course and high quality elite field. Although only established in 2015, it has quickly become one of Europe’s must-run races.
This is not just a race for elites though. Runners will enjoy the race of their life, running along the event’s flat, wide and traffic-free course. The route itself almost seems like it was planned as a sightseeing tour of the city, covering many of Copenhagen’s most famous sights. Along the way you’ll see The Old Stock Exchange, The Parliament Christiansborg, The Marble Church and The Black Diamant.
First held in 2015, the Copenhagen Half Marathon is the newest event on the SuperHalfs series. It's also officially the world's fastest half marathon, after Geoffrey Kamworor ran the 2019 event in a record-breaking 58:01.
The race passes through many of the city's famously distinct districts including Nørrebro, Frederiksberg Allé (known as the ‘Nordic Champs Elysées), Vesterbro and the Inner City.
It's hard to believe that one half marathon can pack so many sights into one course, but the Copenhagen Half Marathon has all that and much more awaiting runners.
