21.0975 kilometers takes courage, determination, and speed. But it’s you, the spectators, friends, and family, who turn it into something bigger. It only becomes a true running celebration when you’re out there cheering for every runner.
Have a great day as a spectator
There are plenty of reasons to cheer on friends and family when they run their half-marathon. Besides making them happy, it’s also a great day for you as a spectator. You can even pick up a cheering card at the Copenhagen Half Marathon Expo in the days leading up to the race, so the thousands of runners really know you’re there.
Around the course you’ll find several entertainment spots and power zones, all of which are perfect areas for you to cheer on the runners. The zones are filled with entertainment for all ages and a great atmosphere. Explore the route map to see the different entertainment spots and power zones.
There’s also a lot going on during the day in the start and finish area, where you can watch the elite runners cross the finish line. Check the times so you don’t miss out.
How to get around on race day in Copenhagen
