THE HALF MARATHON (sold out)

The Half Marathon at the World Athletics Road Running Championships Copenhagen 26 is presented as the weekends showcase, bringing together the worlds elite and public participants on the same course. The organisers describe the route as flat, fast and designed for strong performances, guiding runners through Copenhagens historic inner city and its colourful bridge districts. The finishing straight is promoted as a dramatic experience, with an "epic tunnel of noise" from the crowd and a well earned medal awaiting finishers.

Entry to the race has been managed by a lottery with a resale option noted for 2026, and the mass race uses seeded start groups based on expected finish time; participants will receive detailed wave information closer to the event. World Athletics highlights the elite fields alongside the mass participation element, and the page notes the standing world records for context of the competition. The event page is the official information source for the Half Marathon within the Copenhagen 26 programme.
