Race week program
We’ve booked
half of Copenhagen
just for you

On Wednesday 10 September, we open the doors to this year’s Expo in collaboration with LØBEREN. It’s time to pick up your bib, grab your race bag, soak in the atmosphere, and become part of the electric Half-energy spreading across the city.

The Expo isn’t just a practical stop. It’s the first chapter of your race experience.

We’ve put together a program that goes beyond running. Expect activities, inspiration, and experiences for participants, spectators, and families alike — all building up to the Copenhagen Half Marathon, when the city bursts into celebration.

The CPH Half Expo with LØBEREN opens Wednesday 10.9 at 12:00

At the Expo, you’ll pick up your race bib and step into a universe of running. A world of the latest gear, apparel, and essentials. This is where you get in the right mindset. To beat your fastest. Or at least smile while trying.

Location:
Sparta Hallen, Gunnar Nu Hansens Plads 11, 2100 Copenhagen Ø
