The event in a few words

Running enthusiasts, lace up your sneakers and get ready for a big challenge with the Ørestad Half Marathon in Copenhagen! It's the perfect opportunity to test your limits on one of the flattest and fastest courses in the world 🎯.

Imagine yourself running through the Kalvebod Fælled, an urban nature park where nature meets the city. Between strides, you may encounter wild deer and horses, while marveling at the rich birdlife that will accompany you 🌿.

With its long straight lines and few turns, this AIMS-certified course will allow you to find an optimal pace and, perhaps, set a personal best 🏅. With a total elevation of only 7 meters, each step brings you closer to victory!

And after the effort, the reward! 🍽️ Once the race is over, explore the wonders of Copenhagen:

  • Stroll through the gardens of Tivoli, one of the oldest amusement parks in the world, where magic and tradition meet.
  • Dive into history by visiting the Rosenborg Castle, a splendid royal residence housing national treasures.
  • Embark on a relaxing cruise through the canals of Copenhagen and discover the city from a new perspective.
  • For a cultural getaway, the Museum of Copenhagen is a must-see to learn all about this dynamic capital.
  • And if your heart desires, head to Hillerød, an hour’s drive away, to visit the majestic Frederiksborg Castle, surrounded by breathtaking gardens.

Get ready for an unforgettable experience where global competition meets the beauty of nature and urban life! 🌟
