Hundreds of University of Copenhagen (UCPH) students are participating in a new Copenhagen half marathon on Sunday 13 September, that will have more than 21,000 men and women hot-footing it through Inner City and Frederiksberg. <\/p>\n

The half marathon is often seen as the marathon\u2019s ‘little brother’. After all, it is half the distance of a traditional marathon, but that doesn\u2019t mean running one is only half the achievement. The half marathon still requires serious training and a challenging mixture of tempo and endurance. For hobby runners the distance of 21.1 kilometres is long enough for you not being able to race it on a whim. But not as intensive as the full marathon. <\/p>\n

Best outdoor workout spots in Copenhagen<\/a> <\/div>\n

Novice runner A Ra Choi is a 21-year old exchange student from California who decided to compete in the half marathon last spring when she got accepted into her Copenhagen study abroad program: “One day I thought to myself: why not ran a half marathon? Accomplishing this would be challenging, memorable and a rewarding experience,” she said to the University Post. <\/p>\n

Looking forward to afterwards<\/h2>\n

A Ra started training in advance, but didn\u2019t sign up until she had completed longer distance runs. \u201cI wanted to make sure, that I could really do it\u201d, she states. To be prepared as much as possible, she strictly follows a training schedule and runs at least four times a week. <\/p>\n

Kasper: “Probably unhealthier addictions than running”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

24-year old Majken Eskelund, a UCPH student, was first enthralled by the running fever when she cheered for the runners during the half marathon world cup in Copenhagen in March 2014. Since then, she has completed two half marathons in Odense and Vancouver. Her goal for the upcoming Copenhagen race is clear.<\/p>\n

“I want to beat my two recent times! My goal is to be faster than 1:55,” she says. Majken is excited to run with friends from school, Norway and Sweden: \u201cI’m looking forward to seeing them, running with them and mostly celebrating together when we’re done!”<\/p>\n

Start and finish in F\u00e6lledparken<\/h2>\n

Kasper Rasmussen is a PhD-candidate at UCPH who will be running his fifth half marathon.<\/p>\n

“If you experienced this satisfaction while crossing the finish line once, you want to experience it again and again. There are probably unhealthier addictions than running,” he jokes.<\/p>\n
