DHL Stafetten Copenhagen
30 Aug – 3 Sep 2027 · Start 18:00 · Fælledparken, Østerbro
Five evenings of 5 × 5 km relay in Fælledparken: Denmark's biggest running event, half race and half summer picnic with your colleagues.
DHL Stafetten fills Fælledparken for five evenings at the end of every summer. Teams of five each run or walk 5 km, handing over a baton, and around 120,000 people take part across the week, most of them in company teams with a tent and a picnic.
The run starts from 18:00 and the walk from 18:30. A team costs DKK 920 plus a DKK 20 fee, which covers bibs, baton, timing, a snack box and a team photo. Registration for 2027 opens in March 2027, and the event usually sells out.
