The start of the 41st Telenor Copenhagen Marathon will be at 9.30 from Islands Brygge, Copenhagen S. The actual starting area opens at 7.30. There will be a dedicated Runners' Area to which spectators does not have access. Spectators are welcome to watch the race from the stands and along the runway at Islands Brygge.

Timing is carried out with an integrated disposable vessel in your start number. The starting number must not be bent or altered as it may damage the chip. It is important that your starting number is placed visibly on the chest for timing and photo service. All participants receive intermediate times every 5 km and at 21.1 km. In each interim period there are set up times so you can check your time (gross). After the race, the starting number can be thrown away.

The winners (top 20 M/F) of Telenor CPH Marathon and any championships are decided on gross times. For all other participants, it will be the net time, ie. time from the starting line to the finish line, which is the official time.

You have the opportunity to follow one of the 13 pace teams all the way from the starting line to the finish line. The experienced pacers help you to keep a steady pace and reach the exact time you want to achieve. Before the race, they will be found in the starting section corresponding to their target time, indicated on their coloured balloons.

The official time limit of the race is set to: at 21.1 km (halfway) 3 hours net; at 42.2 km (the finish line) 6 hours net.

Participants who after 3 hours net have not passed the half marathon (21.1 km), or who are unable to complete the entire distance in less than 6 hours net, are advised that the race manager reserves the right to: start the lifting of traffic barriers, after which the general provisions of the Traffic and Traffic Act must be complied with; begin the removal of route markings (route officers can provide route maps); start closing liquid depots including toilets and meal areas; cease video and timing including registration of intermediate times.

If you choose not to complete the race, it is important that you do not cross the finish line. Contact an official if you need help.

There are 12 catering zones approximately 3.5km apart, all located on the right side of the road. There will be signage on the route as you approach a catering area.

At each catering zone, the following is offered: Showers; Private fluid (reserved for the elite); Water (in plastic mug); High5 EnergySource citrus (in plastic mug); Water (in plastic mug); Orange and banana (at every other depot); Toilets
