42.195 km through Copenhagen

If you belong to the group of tough runners who will run the (to be exact) 42.195 km through Copenhagen and Frederiksberg, you know there is something special about participating in the Marathon in Copenhagen.

In 2025, the Marathon in Copenhagen will be held for the 45th time, since the first race took place on the city’s streets back in 1980.

Marathon in Copenhagen is for everyone

Going back 15-20 years, marathons were for elite runners - a utopia for the average jogger. But that is no longer the case.

As the number of recreational runners has increased significantly, more and more people have dared to reach for the finish line of the 42.195 kilometers. This is also reflected in the growing number of participants in the Marathon. In 2024, a record was set with 15,000 runners (the first race in 1980 had about 1,000 participants) taking to Copenhagen's streets in May.

Here, you'll find everyone from the elite runner who needs only two and a half hours to cover the distance, to the 75-year-old jogger who raises their arms after six hours of battling against themselves.

Accommodation offer at Copenhagen Island

If you want the ideal preparations for the marathon, Hotel Copenhagen Island has arranged a little extra pampering, both before and after the race.

You'll avoid long transport times to the starting area and home from the finish line, and the hotel will provide the right nutrition both before and after the race. This way, you can focus all your energy on running a fantastic marathon.

The offer includes

Delicious breakfast buffet targeted at runners on Sunday, May 11, 2025, starting at 6AM.

  • Energy buffet from 2PM after the race on May 11, 2025, with water, juice, fruit, chocolate, etc.
  • Late check-out on Sunday, May 11, 2025, at 6PM – so you can take a relaxing shower after the race.
