This year, CPH Half has been relaunched with a new visual identity encapsulated by the buzzwords ‘Ready, Set, Blast’. For the course is flat and open for speed. For the spectator and cheerleader, it’s perhaps more about the ‘Blast’ you can give and get.  

It happens when you are lifted by the music and take part in the energy that is reflected back and forth between the audience and runners. 

Especially when support is most needed during the last half of the course, Power Zones fill up the soundscapes. 

With extra cheap event tickets for public transport, it’s also possible to follow even your favourite fast runner at several points along the course. 

Power Zones 

Entertainment sticks to most of the course to make the running party a party for the rest of the city too. We’ve selected some powerhouses of atmosphere and music, with easy metro access if you follow your favourite runner around the course. 

 Carlsberg Nordic 

Kongens Nytorv is guaranteed to be a party and something cold for the palate when Carlsberg Nordic sets the stage for a power zone that will energise runners twice along the course. They offer great music and cheering as all runners pass by. Perhaps just as important: Spectators can enjoy beer from Carlsberg.
