Getting around during the weekend
Leave the car behind.
Many roads will be closed during championship weekend, so we recommend travelling by bike or public transport.
The Metro and S-trains are the easiest ways to get around and cross the course, while buses run on adjusted schedules.
If you need to drive, use the interactive map to find recommended driving routes, road crossings and access points.
Travel easily by Metro
The Metro is one of the easiest ways to move around Copenhagen during championship weekend. It allows you to cross the race courses without waiting at road crossings and makes it easy to move between different parts of the city.

Cheer on the runners
The courses wind through the heart of Copenhagen, giving you countless opportunities to cheer for the runners, whether you are watching the one mile, 5 km or half marathon.
Use the interactive course map to find the best places along all three routes and follow the action throughout the day.

Plan your route before you leave. Copenhagen will be busy, and public transport or cycling will usually be the easiest way to move between different parts of the course.
