Race Day

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.

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.
