Our Copenhagen 'runseeing' tour of Copenhagen's key sights: the main shopping district, along the old harbor, past the royal palace, through the old fort, several parks and palace gardens, and the university neighborhood.
One of the most popular places for running in Copenhagen. 4 miles of running along the water on dedicated paths, centrally located. Easy to vary with bridge crossings and parks nearby.
A fantastic waterfront and fortress combo run. Enjoy the Nyhavn, the 17th-century waterfront, canal and entertainment district with its colorful townhouses, and then the 2.5k loop around the wonderfully preserved Kastellet.
A 7k tour of Copenhagen's centrally located parks, connected by bridges and the Lakes trail. Includes Østre Anlæg, Fredens Park, Amor Park, and Fælledparken. Add on by doing more of the Lakes path.
Two gorgeous and adjoining parks, about 4km from the central city. There are landscaped grounds, great lawns, palaces, cisterns, lakes, and winding, wooded paths. Can easily put together a few km of running in these parks.
Centrally located park, with great paths for walking and running. It's about 3.5k around the perimeter paths. Great to combine with Lakes paths, and the Østre Anlæg park just to the south.
This is a great run in two adjoining neighborhoods, just over the bridge from Nyhavn. Enjoy running the ramparts, along the water and into the funky Freetown Christiana neighborhood, and around the Opera House.
Some gorgeous running on Amager Island! Waterfront running in Strandpark on the eastern end, and 11 km of uninterrupted waterfront running on the western end, plus wetlands paths around Kalvebod Fælled nature preserve.
A series of three lakes 6 miles north of Copenhagen, easily reachable by S-Bahn. Wonderful combination of water views and wooded trails. A run around all the lakes is 5.5 miles.
A forest park & UNESCO World Heritage Site 15km from Copenhagen, easily reachable by train. There are 1,000 acres of trails with ancient oak trees, and large populations of red and fallow deer.
In the southwestern part of Copenhagen, 20+ km of scenic paths near the Arken Museum and the Kalvebod Fælled Nature Preserve. Paths feature grasslands and some great water views.
