The story

Copenhagen Half Marathon in Copenhagen

Copenhagen Half Marathon has run since 2015, organised by Danish Athletics and Sparta Athletics and Running, drawing a field of roughly 15,000 runners each September over a 21.1-kilometre course through the city. Its cooler autumn timing and shorter distance distinguish it from the older, larger Copenhagen Marathon held each spring.

Copenhagen Half Marathon has run since 2015 under Danish Athletics and Sparta Athletics and Running as organisers, establishing itself within a decade as a distinct fixture on the city's road-running calendar alongside the older, longer Copenhagen Marathon held earlier in the year.
