Start Groups
The official start of the race is 9:30 CEST but you have an arrival time at your start group. The arrival times appear at this site. We have start groups to ensure a smooth, safe, and enjoyable start for everyone.
It’s important that you’re in your designated start group at the time indicated, so that everyone can get off to a calm and organized beginning.
It also gives you time to soak up the atmosphere before the race begins. If you need to change your estimated finish time, you can do so via your registration profile.
Further down this page, you’ll find the exact time you need to be in your start group.
Your start group is based on the finish time you entered when signing up. It’s visible on your bib (color and letter), in info emails, and on signs in the Runners Area.
Pace Teams
On race day, our pacers will be ready to help you chase your goal time. You’ll spot them in the start area by their colored balloons.
They’re experienced runners known for keeping a steady pace from start to finish – and they’ll guide you confidently all the way to the finish line.
Runners Area
Runners Area is for both you and your cheer squad. Check out the map of the Runners Area and explore the offers waiting for you.
Arrival time at your startgroup
We recommend making your way to your start group 15 minutes before the time listed under “Arrival at start group”.
You’ll find physical maps in the Runners Area, and maps are also available in the official CPH Half app. All maps clearly show where to find your start group and which route to take to get there.
Each start group also has access to toilets and water stations.
Note: Your race time doesn’t start until you cross the start line.

The Venue Map is an overview map of the Runners Area. It shows your start groups, toilets, and everything else you need for race day.
Pre-race facilities
Drop off your race bag at the Bag Drop in Runners Area. Make sure to attach your bag tag so our volunteers can easily locate your bag after the race.
You’ll find multiple water stations in Runners Area, where you can hydrate before heading to the start line. Each start group will also have water stations and toilets.
Toilets are available throughout the entire start area. We recommend visiting them in good time, as queues may occur. You can also head straight to your designated start group, where toilets will be available too.
