Marselisborgskovene is a large forest area south of Aarhus that’s a popular spot for running. Enjoy 300 year old beech trees in a preserve that stretches for 7 km along the coast of Aarhus Bay. It’s also part of the Sunbeam’s coastal route. In the northern part of the forest, sights include Marselisborg Castle, Marselisborg Memorial Park, Forest Botanical Garden, a running track at Aarhus Stadium, Marselisborg Dyrehave and Ballehage Beach. In the southern part of the forest are the Moesgaard Museum, Skovmøllen and Moesgaard Beach.
For running, there’s a marked jogging loop. The 6 km (yellow route) option is less hilly, while the 10 km (red route) option is hillier. Start near Moesgaard Strand. The terrain is mainly wooded, with some water views toward in the coastal area. There are restrooms & water at Moesgaard Strand. Note: hilly!
