Didn’t you get an entry for the Copenhagen Half Marathon? Or can you not run? Fortunately, there is good advice for that. On this page you can read about how to buy or sell an entry for CPH Half.
If you want to buy a entry, you need to sign up for our waiting pool. If you are drawn among all those in the pool when a race number goes on sale, you will be notified directly by email.

If you want to sell your entry, you have three different options to choose from:
- Give it to a friend
- Sell it to a friend
- Put it up for sale in the waiting pool
If you want to give your entry away, you can do so via your participant profile. You will find the login and code for your participant profile in your confirmation email when you signed up for CPH Half.
You can also sell your entry in our waiting pool. You set your own price (Max price is the original selling price at 625 DKK or 85 euro), after which a random person will be selected from the waiting pool. The selected person will be notified directly by email that there are now 36 hours to complete the transfer.
If the buyer does not complete the transaction within that time, the entry will be offered to someone else in the waiting pool.
The seller pays the administration fee of 100 DKK / 15 euro in connection with a sale regardless of the method used.
