Welcome to
Copenhagen Running Week
Kick off the marathon festivities, let the butterflies fly, and get your legs moving with one of Copenhagen Marathon’s official Shakeout Runs.
All runs are at an easy, relaxed pace — and no one gets left behind. We’ll be running in a big city environment, following traffic rules, which means there will be a few stops along the way.
In other words, this is not where you come to set a PR. Instead, you can look forward to a scenic and social run through a beautiful city as the perfect warm-up for Sunday’s marathon.
Feel free to sign up for the Facebook event (coming soon) for the runs you plan to join — it helps us know how much coffee to prepare.
