The CPH Half, or Copenhagen Half Marathon, is a September half marathon through Copenhagen and Frederiksberg, first run in 2015. Sparta Atletik & Løb organises it, and it is part of the SuperHalfs series. The 2027 race is on Sunday 19 September, starting at 09:30 on Jagtvej in Østerbro. The organisers have set 45,000 places for 2027, and the places are allocated by lottery: a record 188,522 runners entered it. In 2026 the half marathon was held as part of the World Athletics Road Running Championships in Copenhagen, on Sunday 20 September. The organisers describe the route as fast, and the race has produced records. Geoffrey Kamworor's 58:01 in 2019 is the men's race record, and Likina Amebaw's 1:04:44 in 2025 is the women's. In 2025 a record 32,000 runners took part in the 10th edition.

The Race
Copenhagen
The CPH Half has been held since 2015. It was launched after the success of the 2014 World Half Marathon Championships in Copenhagen, and its first edition used a slightly modified version of that course.
Kenya's Geoffrey Kamworor ran 58:01 at the 2019 Copenhagen Half Marathon, which was a half marathon world record at the time and is still the men's race record. In 2025 Ethiopia's Likina Amebaw won the women's race in 1:04:44, taking 18 seconds off the previous course record, in rain.
