Why you dream of this race

THE DREAM

ABOUT THE RACE

A day you'll remember,
long past the finish line.

Herlev Løbet is a road race held in Herlev, about 11km northwest of central Copenhagen.

The adult races are 5km and 10km, covering the looped course on Herlev Bygade twice and four times respectively.

A 2.5km children’s race and a walking event are also offered, making it suitable for families.

Volunteers from Herlev Løbe- og Atletikklub organise the race, which has become the opening event of the local Herlev Festuge.

The course has been officially measured by the Danish Athletics Federation (DAF) and the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS),

and is approved as a World Athletics World Ranking event.

Finish · Google Maps

The start and finish are on the square in front of Herlev Library, on Herlev Bygade.

The adult 5 km and 10 km races start at 11 a.m. and complete two and four laps respectively of the same loop course.

The entire course course is paved with asphalt and paving stones, and alternates between short hills and longer climbs, so the terrain is not completely flat.

On race day, course is closed to vehicle traffic, kilometre markers are placed along the route, and course marshals at every intersection provide directions.

Toilets and aid station are available near finish, and finishers receive water and fruit.

Course has been officially measured by the Danish Athletics Federation and AIMS, guaranteeing accurate distances.

READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

The Copenhagen area is moving from summer into autumn when the race takes place,

with average temperatures ranging from 11°C to 18°C and a marked difference between day and night.

There are about nine wet days a month and roughly 60mm of precipitation, so conditions requiring a rain jacket or waterproof shell are not unusual.

Course features repeated short and long climbs that can affect finishing times.

The entire course is paved with asphalt and paving stones, providing a stable surface, but narrow sections create a risk of contact when passing.

Herlev is easily reached from central Copenhagen by S-train.

Times are local to Herlev. Check the latest official information before the race.
