The Fast Lane
Runners come to the Copenhagen Midnight Marathon for one reason: personal bests. The flat, fast course through Copenhagen has a reputation as a PB factory, with the roads seemingly designed to keep your pace honest and your splits consistent from start to finish.
Running in the Dark
Starting under cover of darkness gives the Copenhagen Midnight Marathon an atmosphere unlike any daytime race. Headlamps pierce the night, the temperature drops, and the usual visual landmarks of a marathon disappear — leaving nothing but the rhythm of footsteps and the glow of the finish line ahead.
