Welcome to the Runners Area
There’s plenty to think about before a marathon. That’s why we’ve set up a lovely Runners Area in Fælledparken – right next to the start and finish line – where you can relax and enjoy the atmosphere before, during and after the race.
The Runners Area is of course open to everyone. Therefore, it’s also a great place for your friends and family to hang out while they wait for you to cross the finish line.
All day long, our DJ will be playing music in the park while our announcers interview runners as they cross the finish line. In other words, it will be a wonderful day full of atmosphere and marathon stories.
Keep the park clean and green
Please help us keep keep the park nice and clean – both for the guests, the neighbours and the environment.
We have placed Recycling Stations all over the Runners Area so you can sort and dispose of your trash. Our friendly staff be be present at the stations to help you. Thank you so much.
Here are some of the things you can find in the area.
Luggage Storage
We’ll take good care of your race bag while you run. Just attach your luggage tag with your race number to your race bag and drop it off in the big white tents. Be aware that there may be a queue, so arrive in good time and be part of the atmosphere on the square. When you reach the finish line, it’s a good idea to get out of your running shoes and into dry clothes – preferably before your legs get too stiff.
Toilets
You’ll also find our toilets in the Runners Area. Even though we’ve booked a lot, there’s always high demand before the start. Make sure to arrive early so you have plenty of time to queue. There are also toilets in the start area and at all refreshment zones along the course.
Selfie spot
No photos — it didn’t happen! Make sure to capture some memories from the big day. We’ve set up several selfie spots in the Runners Area, and our many volunteers will be more than happy to help you take some great pictures.

Let’s keep Copenhagen Wonderful
Help us keep Copenhagen clean and beautiful. Along the route and in the Runners Area, bins are placed so you can easily dispose of your waste.
When the race is over, only the medal, the sore legs, and a lot of great memories should remain. We hope you’ll help us make that happen.
When you cross the finish line, we’ll be ready to quench your thirst in the Runners Area. And we hope you’ll drink plenty.
When you return your empty bottle to one of the designated deposit stations, we donate the refund to the SMIL Foundation.
The SMIL Foundation works to improve everyday life for seriously and chronically ill children and their families — so help us help others.
Planning to wear an extra jacket or sweater to stay warm before the race? Drop it in one of the clothing bins in the start area when the race begins.
In the days after the race, we sort the clothing and hang the best items on hangers in our Swap Spot – in front of our stadium That way, others can enjoy them and it’s always very popular.
