The place for breaking limits
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.
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.
After completing 21.0975 kilometers, the finish line awaits you on one of the most iconic boulevards in Copenhagen, Frederiksberg Allé, where thousands of spectators will be cheering on you.
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.
