Copenhagen Marathon 2026
The Copenhagen Marathon is a metropolitan distance running event held in the Danish capital. The course covers a distance of 42.195 km through the city streets. The event is part of the European Marathon Classics, a series of eight iconic European marathons united in a long-term challenge.
The event features several components for participants and spectators:
- Marathon: 42.195 km
- CPH Mini Marathon: A dedicated event for children and families
A three-day Expo takes place leading up to the race, held from Wednesday to Saturday. This Expo serves as the starting point for the marathon journey where participants can prepare for the event. The race includes an International Elite A field for high-performance athletes, which requires individual assessment for entry based on previous results.
The organizers implement sustainability initiatives, such as the Swap Spot concept for recycling clothing. Due to the scale of the event, significant traffic changes occur throughout the city, and the public is encouraged to use spectator cheering zones along the route. For those who missed the initial registration, a secure resale platform is available for the safe transfer of bib numbers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
