**Copenhagen Half Marathon** is one of Europe's fastest and most prestigious half marathons, held in the Danish capital. Since its debut in 2015, the event has attracted world-class elite athletes and thousands of runners from around the globe. In 2019, Geoffrey Kamworor set a world record here with a time of 58:01. The race is part of the prestigious **SuperHalfs** series, featuring six European half marathons, with runners who complete all six earning the coveted SuperMedal. The exceptionally flat course takes runners through Copenhagen's most distinctive neighbourhoods, including the historic city centre, colourful Nørrebro, Vesterbro and elegant Frederiksberg. Along the way, participants pass charming streets, lively squares and iconic landmarks. Wide roads, excellent organisation and enthusiastic crowds create ideal conditions for personal bests. In 2027, a record 45,000 runners will take part, making it the largest edition in the event's history.
