Course & Elevation
Odense City Half is the spring half marathon of the HCA Marathon organisation, held on a Sunday at the end of May with 5K, 10K and children's races on the same day. Start and finish are in Munke Mose, the green park in the centre of Odense. The route is a measured 5 km circuit through the city centre, described by the organisers as relatively flat. The half marathon runs the circuit four times, with an extra 1.097 km loop on the first lap that brings the total to 21.1 km. The circuit leads through the Hunderup district and the streets of the city centre before the final stretch down Ny Vestergade, with a view of the finish in Munke Mose. The 5K runs one lap and the 10K two. Every participant has three hours to complete their distance, and the half-marathon entry includes a medal for finishers. The half marathon is started in groups divided by expected finish time.
