Race Description
The Copenhagen Half Marathon is known for its fast and flat course through the Danish capital, attracting elite athletes and recreational runners from around the world. The race starts and finishes near Østerbro Stadium, guiding participants through a looped route that passes through several of Copenhagen’s central districts.The route is designed with long straight sections and relatively few sharp turns. The terrain is very flat, with an elevation gain of roughly 20–30 meters, making it one of the fastest half marathon courses in Europe. The combination of wide roads, minimal elevation, and strong spectator support has helped establish the Copenhagen Half Marathon as one of the leading road races on the international running calendar.
