Event Details
In 2017 the Copenhagen Half Marathon was awarded with the IAAF Road Race Gold Label, which is considered the most prestigious quality designation.
The criteria that must be fulfilled in order to become an IAAF Label road race event cover areas such as elite field composition, fencing, safety, race timing, communication and broadcasting, etc.
The CPH Half attracts a strong international elite field. Seeing lots of fast times since the beginning in 2015, the CPH Half has claimed itself as one of the World’s fastest half marathons.
Leading up to the race, a three-day expo is held in Sparta Hallen on Østerbro in Copenhagen, where participants collect their race packet containing their bib number with integrated timing chip, a Nike T-shirt and a baggage bag.
The race is transmitted live by the national broadcasting company on dr.dk and DR TV and live streamed on cphhalf.com from 11:00 am, and on big screens in the start and finish area.
A live transmission recap will be available on cphhalf.com
