The Copenhagen Marathon is for everyone
15-20 years ago, a marathon was just for elite runners - out of the league of the average jogger. But that’s not the case anymore.
With a dramatic rise in the number of people who run to keep fit, more and more of us have drummed up the courage to sweat out the 42.195 km and go for the finish line.
This is also reflected in the numbers taking part, with the 14,000 people on the Copenhagen asphalt in May 2014 (the first race in 1980 attracted some 1000 runners). The spectrum of runners ranges right through from elite runners, who need only two and a half hours to complete the distance, to 75-year-old keep fit enthusiasts, who raise their arms in victory after a six-hour battle to the finish line.
Overnight stay with a marathon diet in Copenhagen
Like any other army, an army of runners marches on its stomach. The old proverb still holds good when it comes to marathon running, and naturally Copenhagen Island is prepared.
Runners can choose from a number of delicious and nutritious pasta dishes for dinner the day before the race. And, on the day, breakfast, prepared of course to meet the precise needs of a marathon runner, will be served from 6 am, giving it time to be digested before the race.
Once the victory medal is hanging around your neck, you can enjoy an energy buffet back at the hotel. With fruit, chocolate, water, juice, and more on offer, your body will be well on its way to recovery. What's more, you don’t need to push your tired body to leave, as checking out is free right through till 6 pm.
