Copenhagen Marathon
2025

It’s not an instant feeling. Doesn’t hit you straight away.
Then you start to run.
In that moment, and for the next 42.195 km at least,
you are Copenhagen.

No danish championship in marathon in Copenhagen

The Copenhagen Marathon will not host the Danish Championship in marathon in either 2025 or 2026.

This is because in 2026 the World Half Marathon Championships will be held in Copenhagen. This race will replace the Copenhagen Half Marathon, which usually hosts the Danish Half Marathon Championship.

In order for the national runners to be able to compete in both the Danish Half Marathon Championships and the World Half Marathon Championships, in 2025 and 2026 the DM Half Marathon and DM Marathon will be swapped, so the DM Half Marathon will be held in the spring, while the DM Marathon will be held in the fall.

An experience of a lifetime

On May 11th at 9:30 am, the starting gun for the Copenhagen Marathon will sound. At that moment, thousands of runners will transform Copenhagen into a magical arena with one common goal: to complete the 42.195 kilometers.

The flat and atmospheric course takes you through the Inner City of Copenhagen, passing iconic landmarks such as Rosenborg Castle, the Marble Church, Tivoli, and Kongens Nytorv. Thousands of spectators will immerse you in a huge street party at Dr. Louise’s Bridge, before the journey continues with cheers, music, and DJs through Nørrebro, Vesterbro, Frederiksberg, and Østerbro.

The Copenhagen Marathon is more than a race. It’s an experience.
