Copenhagen Marathon aims to increase its focus on charity fundraising. That’s why a new partnership has been established with Realbuzz — to benefit both participants and charitable organizations.
Now it’s easier to run a marathon and raise money for a good cause at the same time.
Copenhagen Marathon has entered into a new partnership with Realbuzz — an organization that specializes in connecting runners with charities.
Realbuzz already works with many of the world’s largest and most popular endurance events, and now Copenhagen Marathon joins the family.
Big ambitions
The new partnership will kick off with the Copenhagen Marathon 2026. Realbuzz will leverage its extensive experience in charity running to recruit and support both national and international charities. The ambition is to significantly increase the event’s charitable impact — both in Denmark and globally.
Jesper Lind Andersson, Head of Commercial at Copenhagen Marathon, says:
“We’re very excited about the partnership with Realbuzz, as it enables our growing field of participants to run for a good cause. Our goal is to rapidly grow charity participation, and we know Realbuzz is the right partner to make that happen. We can’t wait to get started in 2026 — especially now that the race sold out in under 24 hours.”
Charity that matters
Realbuzz is already the exclusive partner of the Copenhagen Half Marathon through the SuperHalfs series — an event that has seen explosive growth in popularity and will move to a ballot for 2026, alongside an increase in charity runners.
This latest announcement further strengthens Realbuzz’s global roster of prestigious races.
Nick Hollowood, Chief Commercial Officer at Realbuzz, says:
“Running event participation is booming worldwide, and we’ve just announced record-breaking fundraising results from our current partner events. We’re truly excited to be working with Copenhagen Marathon. The event is growing fast, and we see a huge opportunity to connect charities with runners and deliver real impact for important causes. Our mission is to make charity running more accessible worldwide and help as many runners as possible give deeper meaning to their miles — and we can’t wait to bring this partnership to life.”

About the Copenhagen Marathon
Established in 1980, the Copenhagen Marathon has evolved into a modern, experiential event, broadcast globally and cheered on by thousands of spectators. Nearly 50% of runners in 2024 were first-timers, drawn by the flat course through the heart of the Danish capital and its many iconic sights.
