Copenhagen Half Marathon 2025 will be a historic event. For the fourth consecutive year, CPH Half is sold out, with more than 32,000 participants from over 130 countries expected to attend.

Press accreditation

To access the start and finish areas, you must pick up a press vest and your accreditation badge at the Help Desk. You’ll find the Help Desk at the Expo at Gunnar Nu Hansens Plads 11, 2100 Copenhagen Ø.

Opening hours are:

Wednesday: 12:00–19:00
Thursday: 12:00–19:00
Friday: 10:00–19:00
Saturday: 10:00–19:00
Sunday: 7:30–8:30

You must wear the press vest and your accreditation badge visibly throughout the event. Both must be returned to the press tent after the event.

Mandatory press briefing

As accredited press, you are required to attend a mandatory press briefing on Sunday at 8:40. The briefing will be held at the start gate in the start area on Jagtvej. The area is closed to the public, and you will only be admitted if you are wearing your accreditation vest and have a visible accreditation badge. During the briefing, the press pools, the mixed zone, and the press tent will be reviewed.

Interviews and Mixed Zone
When the elite finish, the runners will be guided to the Mixed Zone, where you’ll have the opportunity to conduct interviews. If you already know you would like to do an interview, you can inform CPH Half’s press officer, Thor Thestrup Schnetler.

Start and finish area
The start area is on Jagtvej. It is only a few hundred meters of walking from the well-known finish area on Øster Allé and the nearby press tent. On race day, Fælledparken will be transformed into a Runners Area, featuring various activities for friends and family, as well as options to purchase food and drinks.

The course
Elite participants have optimal conditions to set records on the flat and fast course. It is already certain that participants from Denmark and abroad will enjoy passing many historic sites through Copenhagen and Frederiksberg.
