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

CPH Half is 21.0975 kilometers of pure energy and Copenhagen at its finest. From the electric start on Jagtvej to the euphoric finish line in the green heart of Fælledparken, you’ll run through the city’s most vibrant neighborhoods: Østerbro, the historical Inner City, Vesterbro, Frederiksberg, and the ever-energetic Nørrebro.

Along the way, you’ll pass some of Copenhagen’s most spectacular and grand landmarks – the perfect backdrop for your half marathon. Picture yourself gliding past the historic facades of Kongens Nytorv, the postcard-worthy Frederiksberg Allé, the shimmering lakes, and the city’s pulsating boulevards. You’ll cruise by iconic monuments like the Old Stock Exchange and The Black Diamond – places that make this city, and this race, truly one of a kind.

Crowds line the route with roaring cheers, music fills the air, and Power Zones light up the course with next-level energy. Combined with a super flat and fast route, everything is set for an unforgettable day – whether you’re chasing a personal best or soaking up every step through the capital’s most stunning scenery.
