The Course is a 5 km loop in central Odense (DAF-measured).
5 or 10 km races complete the loop either once or twice.
Half Marathon runs the loop four times, plus an additional 1.097 km loop on the first lap.
The Kids´Run consists of two laps in Munke Mose, providing plenty of opportunities for cheering and creating a fun atmosphere for the children.
General Guidance Please keep to the right on Dronningensgade, as it is a one-way street and there may be oncoming vehicles.
Keep right under the finish arch to cross the finish line. Participants running the Half Marathon or 10 km should stay to the left.
In general keep right, to allow other participants to overtake safely.
On the course, aid stations are located at approximately 2.5 km and at the start.
This means that if you are running the 10 km or Half Marathon, you will have access to an aid station approximately every 2.5 km, as the course is a 5 km loop.
Bananas will be available for Half Marathon runners at the aid station on the course.
Der er fartholdere til halvmaraton med sluttiderne 1:30, 1:45 og 2:00.
HOW YOUR TIME IS RECORDED
Chip Timing: Your finish time is automatically recorded using a timing chip located on the back of your race bib.
Gross Time The time recorded from the official start signal until you cross the finish line.

Headphones are not allowed during the race for safety reasons. Since the course is a loop, it is important that all runners can hear instructions from officials, cyclists, and other runners who need to pass. Instead, take in the green surroundings and the buzz of the city.
