Copenhagen Marathon is a flat marathon in Copenhagen, Denmark, held each May. A flat, fast course that starts and finishes at Islands Brygge and crosses the harbour bridges through central Copenhagen, Christianshavn and Amager. Cool to mild, around 10-17C; wind can be a factor. On a course as flat as Copenhagen Marathon, even splits are everything; the classic mistake is banking time in the first third.
