What to expect

Do you want to get out of the city for a few hours and try something new? Fun? Healthy? Challenging? We will meet at Hvalsø Station, 30 minutes away from the centre of Copenhagen, where I will tell you a bit about me and my passion for running and what we will be doing. We will then embark on a 6km stunning trail run, split into 4 parts of 1.5km's each. We will take breaks when we want to, we will run at a comfortable tempo and we will take in some beautiful nature. The route is put together after years of running in this area, on small paths beside Bagsværd Sø and Furesø. Terrain will be through dense forest, single trails and alongside steep drops down to beautiful lakes. This trail running experience is all about spending time in nature and doing something good for yourself. It is aimed towards anyone who wants to see more of what Denmark has to offer. All you need is an open mind that is ready for a fun challenge. We will finish our run back by Skovbrynet St where we can stretch and get something to eat before taking the train back towards Copenhagen.

Skjoldungestien

Nyhavn is Copenhagen’s iconic 17th-century harbor, famed for its colorful townhouses, historic wooden ships, and lively atmosphere. Once the bustling entry point to the city for traders and adventurers, today it’s a postcard-perfect promenade where locals and visitors soak in Danish culture, cuisine, and canal-side charm amidst centuries-old buildings and buzzing outdoor cafés.

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
