Indulge in a Sports Summer second to none
If you love the competitive thrill, big emotions and sports from the very top shelf, then you’re in for a treat this summer. All across Denmark, you can attend unique and spectacular sports events this summer. Either as a spectator or as a participant.
For example, how about going for a run with HRH The Crown Prince of Denmark and his family?
To celebrate his 50th birthday in 2018 The Crown Prince invited all citizens of Denmark to run with him. Since then Royal Run has become a huge and popular running event each year.
This year Royal Run takes place on June 6 in six different Danish cities. Definitely in a city near you.
The first stage is an individual time trial that takes the riders past many iconic landmarks in the heart of Copenhagen.
The second stage takes the riders through the picturesque island of Zealand and over the iconic Great Belt Bridge – finishing in Nyborg.
The third stage starts in the city of Vejle which boasts some of the steepest street climbs in Denmark. The third stage also takes the riders past the more than 1000-year-old UNESCO World Heritage protected Jelling Mounds, through the beautiful cities of Kolding and Christianfeld – finishing in the historic city of Sønderborg in the southernmost part of Jutland.
All along the stages, there are great spots to experience the riders pass by. Go explore the stages for yourself on the website
