Welcome to the Breakfast Run in Tivoli
26. February 2025

Lace up and have a magical saturday with fun, laughter, and running at our Breakfast Run in Tivoli. Everyone are welcome – regardless of your age or shoe size.

Normally, Tivoli is filled with happy people enjoying themselves, laughing, and strolling between the many attractions.

But once a year, the amusement park opens its gates to runners, giving you the chance to experience its magic with a race bib on your chest.

On May 10th at 9:45 AM, we’re hosting the Breakfast Run in Tivoli – a wonderful race for both children and adults. It’s not about finishing first; it’s about running and enjoying the beauty of the amusement park in the peaceful morning hours before it opens to the public.

And when you’ve crossed the finish line, we’ll be ready with some delicious food and drinks to round off the experience.

Run for a Good Cause
The Breakfast Run in Tivoli follows an 800-meter route, winding through the park so you get to see a lot of the wonders of Tivoli along the way. The race lasts 30 minutes, and during that time, you can complete as many laps around the course as you wish.

And we hope you’ll run a lot. That’s because for every lap you complete, we’ll donate 10 DKK to SMILfonden, a charity dedicated to improving the lives of children with serious and chronic illnesses.

Spend the entire day in Tivoli
Your race bib also grants you free admission to Tivoli. Once you’ve finished running you can enjoy the day with friends and family. However, until Tivoli opens to the public at 11:00 AM, access is limited to the start and finish area. The beautiful Rasmus Klump Playground will be open during this time.

So don’t miss this unique opportunity to run through one of the world’s most charming amusement parks. Since 1843, Tivoli has been filling visitors with joy and excitement – and we promise, this day will be no exception!

    Timing Chip Instructions:
    Your race bib contains a timing chip, so please avoid bending it.

    When crossing the start and finish line, make sure not to cover your race bib with your arm (e.g., when starting or stopping a sports watch), as this may prevent the chip from registering your time.

    This also applies during the race warm-up, where space is limited.

  • The route runs through Tivoli, with the start and finish located at H.C. Andersen Castle inside the park.

  • Unfortunately, it is not possible to change clothes in Tivoli, so please arrive already dressed for the run.
