What?
With 15.000 runners expected to join the race, the Nykredit Copenhagen Marathon is the major running event in the capital of Denmark for 2011.
Where?
In the city centre of Copenhagen, with the chance to see many historic sights and landmarks, including the Rosengorg slot and the Kastellet fortification. The start and finish area are on Islands Brygge by Langebro.
When?
The 2011 marathon starts at Islands Brygge on May 22th.
Why?
Copenhagen is definitely not on the mountains so it is no big surprise that the race is really flat with a total difference in height throughout the entire course of only 10m. May is a great time for a short break in the city: enjoy a morning brunch or (after the race) a Carlsberg beer, ride one of the many free public city-bikes or relax in a cosy outdoor cafe.
