Copenhagen Half Marathon

The Copenhagen Half Marathon is a world-class event held in Denmark’s capital, featuring 21.1 km of flat, wide roads optimized for fast times and personal bests. The route starts in Østerbro and winds through iconic neighbourhoods such as Vesterbro, Frederiksberg, Nørrebro, and the Inner City, offering smooth running and excellent crowd support.

Along the way, runners pass impressive landmarks including The King’s New Square, the Marble Church, Christiansborg Palace, The Old Stock Exchange, the Black Diamond, and Frederiksberg Allé. Power Zones—high-energy sections with live DJs, bands, and cheering fans—add to the lively atmosphere. Timing is tracked with chip timing, and hydration, medical support, and refreshment zones are available.

As a destination-running experience, post-race visitors can explore Copenhagen’s must-see attractions: historic Gamla Stan, charming canals, the historic Tivoli Gardens, and Nyhavn’s colourful waterfront. The compact city center and efficient public transport—metro and S-trains—make it easy to explore the city before or after racing. Public squares, cultural venues, waterfront promenades, royal palaces, and vibrant cafés make Copenhagen a top choice for runners seeking race and travel in one package.
