Question 1

Where is the Copenhagen Marathon expo for bib pickup?

Accepted Answer

The Expo is typically held at Sparta Hallen or the Østerbro Stadion area. You must collect your race bib and technical tee here at least one day before the race; there is no pickup on race morning.

Question 2

How do I get to the start line at Islands Brygge?

Accepted Answer

The most efficient way is via the Copenhagen Metro. Take the M1 line and hop off at the Islands Brygge station, which is just a few hundred metres from the starting corral.

Question 3

Are there pacemakers for specific time goals?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is an extensive pace team provided by Sparta Athletics. They range from 3:00 hours up to 5:00 hours, easily identifiable by balloons and bright singlets.

Question 4

What is the nutrition provided on the course?

Accepted Answer

Water and High5 energy drinks are provided roughly every 4-5km. Some stations later in the race also offer bananas and energy gels, but it is recommended to carry your own preferred brand.

Question 5

Is the course suitable for a Personal Best (PB)?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Copenhagen is one of the flattest courses in Europe. It is a technical city course with some turns, but the total elevation gain is very low, making it ideal for fast times.

Question 6

What gear should I bring for a May race in Denmark?

Accepted Answer

Danish spring weather is unpredictable. Bring layers, including a light windproof jacket for the start and sunglasses, as the low sun can be bright. Usually, a singlet and shorts are sufficient for the run.
