<a href="https://copenhagenmarathon.dk/en/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Copenhagen Marathon</a>, have you heard of it? Of course you have! It's hard not to know about this <a href="kavval://pages/65a8066e-e6ba-421a-837c-cbd807855f17" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">marathon</a>, which ranks among the most famous in the world 🌏. Why? Well, there are several reasons. Firstly, as the name suggests, it takes place in <a href="kavval://cities/fb02d9e0-55ab-4575-8455-496b79a90dce" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Copenhagen</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copenhagen" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the capital</a> and largest city of <a href="kavval://countries/7be95b0b-8ea0-4a94-8279-9bc651cec974" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Denmark</a> 🇩🇰. The second reason this 42 km marathon is a must-do for runners worldwide is its course. Oh yes! Let us introduce you to this completely flat course, perfect for setting best <a href="kavval://tags/record" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">records</a>, in one of the most beautiful race routes in the world 🌈.Copenhagen can boast about having the <a href="https://www.introducingcopenhagen.com/the-little-mermaid" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Little Mermaid</a>, a bronze statue by the water that's become a pilgrimage site 🧜‍♀️. Every visitor must see this statue, which has become a symbol of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Denmark</a>! However, with her fish tail 🐠, this marine damsel wouldn’t be able to run the Copenhagen Marathon: even though it is super flat and perfect for beginners, it remains a marathon... 😅 Since its inception in 1980, the Copenhagen Marathon has continued to establish itself as one of the most beautiful circuits in Europe, in a city rich in culture and history. It's recognized as a "Road race event" by <a href="https://worldathletics.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">World Athletics</a> 🌏 and endorsed by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_Athletics_Federation" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Danish Athletics Federation</a> 🏃‍♀️. This dual institutional recognition attests to the quality of the organization: yes, here you're treated like royalty 👑. Not surprising in a monarchy where the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_Royal_Family" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">royal family</a> 🤴 has a residence in downtown <a href="https://www.visitdenmark.com/denmark/destinations/copenhagen" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Copenhagen</a>, the grand Rococo <a href="https://www.copenhague.fr/palais-amalienborg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Amalienborg</a> palace situated in a magnificent square 🏰. Moreover, the event's fame is international: with more than 100 nationalities among its 12,000 participants, you can say that the Copenhagen Marathon is a popular race, but not overly crowded.Like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Mermaid" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the Little Mermaid</a> from the legend, you might need a magic potion to turn your legs into champion runners' legs 🦿, at least for a few hours 😲. That being said, you can count on the famous Danish concept of hygge (pronounced "hue-gah") to help you feel as light as a top athlete: hygge is all about enjoying the simple pleasures of life with loved ones, in a cozy and intimate atmosphere 💝. It's a philosophy of sharing and authenticity that the organizers of the Copenhagen Marathon masterfully implement!As with previous editions, this year's event will weave through the center of the Danish <a href="kavval://tags/capitals-big-cities" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">capital</a>, a warm and human-sized city. The route will take you through <a href="https://www.visitcopenhagen.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">iconic neighborhoods</a> 🙌. You'll explore places like <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g189541-d2457257-Reviews-Islands_Brygge-Copenhagen_Zealand.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Islands Brygge</a> and the Inner City, the heart of Copenhagen. The <a href="https://www.introducingcopenhagen.com/fredensborg-castle" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">royal family's castle</a>, the opera house 🎼, and the architectural gem that is the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Danish_Playhouse" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Skuespilhuset</a> are among the iconic landmarks on your path (sounds exciting, right? 😌). You'll then dash through the hipster neighborhood of Vesterbro, an area teeming with life and animated spectators 🎊! The rest of the race will take you to Frederiksberg, a gorgeous district featuring a magnificent avenue nicknamed the “Northern Champs-Elysées” and impeccably maintained gardens 🌸. By the time you're halfway through, you'll reach Norrebro, where an enthusiastic crowd will be cheering you on. And it's not over yet—before crossing the finish line 🏁, you'll pass through Osterbro, a green district that will make you long for a terrace break ☕. The break will come soon after, as you reward yourself by wandering through a city known for its <a href="kavval://tags/9e6e8dd8-78e7-4b2f-9413-5b99233f39ac" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">eco-friendliness</a>, safety, artistic vibe (a perfect opportunity to update your Instagram feed 📸), the kindness of its residents... and its <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlsberg_Group" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Carlsberg</a>! 🍻We know, that last argument convinced you 😂.⚠️ Alcohol abuse is dangerous for your health; consume in moderation.
