Welcome to the Copenhagen Marathon Expo
Pick up your race packet
And come home with great gear
The race begins at the Expo
Congratulations! You’ve reached the finish line of your training. Now the adventure begins – and it begins at the Expo!
This is where you’ll pick up your race pack, including your bib number, and meet fellow runners from around the world who have been training toward the same goal as you: Copenhagen Marathon.
Don’t forget your start card
Before heading out the door and making your way to the Expo, remember to bring your start card. You’ll need it to collect your Race Bag and bib number.
We’ll send your start card to your email no later than a week before Race Day* You don’t need to print it – simply show the email on your phone. Let’s save some paper.
Guide: When you arrive at the Expo
Pick Up Your Race Bag & Nike Race T-Shirt at the Expo
When you arrive at the Expo, your first stop should be picking up your Race Bag and Nike race t-shirt – unless you opted out of the t-shirt when registering.
The race pack pickup takes place in the long, white tent in front of the Expo. You’ll need to show your start card, which will be emailed to you no later than a week before Race Day.
Pro tip: Try on your t-shirt before heading home. If it doesn’t fit, you can exchange it at our t-shirt-exchange – as long as we have the size you need. The t-shirt-exchange is located at the far right end of the same white tent where you pick up your Race Bag.
You’ll collect your bib number inside the Expo hall. Here, too, you’ll need to show your start card, which will be emailed to you no later than a week before Race Day.
We print your bib number on-site when you arrive. It’s a quick process, and it helps us reduce waste from uncollected bibs.
Pro tip: Your bib is personal and includes your race number, first name, and nationality. It also features a Finisher Badge, showing how many times you’ve previously participated. Make sure to update your registration profile with the correct number of past finishes before your bib is printed.
Once you’ve picked up your Race Bag, t-shirt, and bib number, you can finally relax. After months of training, all that’s left is the final 42.195 km to complete your journey!
Take in the Expo atmosphere, connect with fellow runners, explore the exhibitors, and grab something to eat and drink – you’ve earned it!
Pro tip: Use your Race Bag to store your change of clothes in the baggage tent inside the Runners Area. Your Race Bag has a small plastic pocket where you can place your bag tag – a paper slip included with your bib number. This helps us identify your bag in the baggage tent after the race.
