Copenhagen Half Marathon
We expect 25,000 runners to be ready in the starting area at Øster Allé in September for this IAAF Gold Label race that has quickly become world-wide renowned for a super fast course through central Copenhagen. This year, once again the race will attract a strong elite – nationally and internationally – to set world-leading times.
