The Copenhagen Half Marathon, organized by Sparta Atletik & Løb since 2015, runs on Sunday, September 19, 2027, with a 9:30 start on Jagtvej in Østerbro. The 21.0975 km course crosses Copenhagen and Frederiksberg, and the organizer calls it fast with loud crowds. The 2027 field is 45,000 runners, the largest in the race's history. Entry is by lottery only: the 2027 lottery ran from September 16 to 30, 2026 and drew 188,522 entries. Drawn runners had 48 hours to buy an entry for DKK 795 plus a 5% administration fee, and the organizer says there is no waiting list and no resale. Official tour operators sell packages that include a guaranteed entry. The race is part of the SuperHalfs ORIGINALS series, and the expo moves to Royal Arena in 2027. The records are 58:01 for men (Geoffrey Kamworor, 2019) and 64:44 for women (Likini Amebaw, 2025).
