World Athletics Road Running Championships Copenhagen 26
In September 2026, the Danish capital hosts the World Athletics Road Running Championships. This event brings together elite athletes from around the globe to compete for world titles alongside a mass participation race that expects up to 65,000 runners. The courses are designed to take participants through the historic streets and waterfront areas of Copenhagen.
The championship features three distinct distances held over two days:
- One Mile: A short distance race held on Saturday, September 19.
- 5 Kilometers: A 5 km road race also taking place on Saturday, September 19.
- Half Marathon: A 21.1 km race scheduled for Sunday, September 20.
The event is an open championship, meaning mass participants can sign up to run on the same courses used by the professional elite athletes. While the Half Marathon is currently listed as sold out, registration remains open for the One Mile and 5 Kilometers distances. The organizers have planned the routes to include music and entertainment for the participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
