The course
Look forward to a lightning-fast course through the best of Copenhagen and Frederiksberg

The Copenhagen Half Marathon course starts on Jagtvej and finishes on Øster Allé in the beautiful green surroundings of Fælledparken in Østerbro. From here, the course goes through Østerbro, Inner City, Vesterbro, Frederiksberg, and Nørrebro on a course that shows runners the absolute best of the capital.

Kongens Nytorv (The Kings’s New Square), Frederiksberg Allé, the Lakes, Østerbrogade, and Nørrebrogade as well as the Marble Church, Børsen, Christiansborg, Blocks, and the Black Diamond are just some of the highlights and attractions you will experience during the 21.0975 kilometers, where spectator support is also world-class.

With some of the world’s best half marathon times, CPH Half has established itself internationally as one of the fastest half marathons. Wide, flat asphalt roads, complete closure to traffic, soft closed turns, and many straight stretches ensure a great race experience for both recreational and elite runners.
