The person standing on the start line on May 9 isn't the same person reading this post today.
Between now and then there will be early alarms.
Long runs.
Rain.
Wind.
Doubt.
Progress.
And somewhere along the way, you'll become stronger than you are right now.
Keep going.
Future you is waiting at the finish line.

Dear all
The final runners selected through the lottery have now completed their registrations, and the field for Copenhagen Marathon 2027 is officially set.
80,937 runners applied for one of the 35,000 entries available for next year's race.
Unfortunately, that means a lot of runners haven't received the answer they were hoping for.
We truly wish we had room for everyone who wanted to join us on the streets of Copenhagen next May.
To everyone who entered the lottery: thank you.
If you weren't selected this time, we hope to welcome you to Copenhagen another time.
And to the 35,000 runners who secured a place on the start line: your journey starts now.

No luck yet? Don't lose hope.
We will contact everyone who entered the lottery, regardless of whether they are selected or not.
That means your chance to run Copenhagen Marathon 2027 remains alive until you receive an email informing you that you were not selected in the draw.

Running a marathon is a gift.
How often do you get 4–5 hours all to yourself.
Where you don't have to tidy up, empty the dishwasher, answer emails, or do the laundry?
All you have to do is put one foot in front of the other. And repeat.
Enjoy the journey.
You've earned it.
Last chance to enter the lottery. It closes today, Wednesday.

Something happens to the runners at Copenhagen Marathon.
Maybe it's the city.
Maybe it's the crowd.
Whatever it is, they always come out stronger and braver on the other side of 42.195 kilometres.
We can't wait to meet the new you on May 9, 2027.
The lottery closes in 3 days. Enter now.
