The CopenhagenHalf Marathon (CPH Half) is one of the world’s fastest and most celebrated half marathons, and in 2027 it returns on Sunday, 19 September, with the start at 09:30. Since its first edition in 2015, the race has grown into a major international event and is part of SuperHalfs, the series that links several of Europe’s leading half marathons. In 2027, 45,000 runners will take their place on the start line.

The 21.0975 km course starts on Jagtvej in Østerbro and finishes on Øster Allé beside thegreen expanse of Fælledparken. In between, runners pass through five of thecity’s most vibrant neighbourhoods: Østerbro, the historic Inner City,Vesterbro, Frederiksberg and Nørrebro, with grand landmarks along the way. Theroute is virtually flat, which makes it a favourite for personal bests, andover the years it has been the stage for records and seriously fast times.

Race day feels like a citywide festival, with music zones, entertainment and loud crowds lining the streets, followed by the Runners Area in Fælledparken, where friends and family can celebrate together. Whether you are chasing a PB or running your first international half, Copenhagen offers a fast, friendly and unforgettable race experience.
