- Where is the Copenhagen Marathon expo for bib pickup?
- 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.
- How do I get to the start line at Islands Brygge?
- 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.
- Are there pacemakers for specific time goals?
- 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.
- What is the nutrition provided on the course?
- 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.
- Is the course suitable for a Personal Best (PB)?
- 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.
- What gear should I bring for a May race in Denmark?
- 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.
