An opportunity for everybody

Royal Run is an opportunity for everybody to take part in this unique event with the royal family where running, walking and something in between is in focus. Hopefully this event will encourage people to be physically active on this day and in general.  

Participants can choose to either walk or run the three distances: One mile (1.6 km), 5 km, and 10 km. The event is organized so that everyone can participate. Athletes or ambitious runners can compete and chase personal records. The rest of us can join the festive event at our own pace – and it is possible for whole families, elderly, and those with disabilities to participate and enjoy the celebration in the streets of the five host cities. 

Behind the event

Royal Run is organized by The National Olympic Committee & Sports Confederation of Denmark, DGI and the Danish Athletic Federation as part of “Move for Life”, which is the shared vision to make Denmark the most active nation in the world. A vision which is supported by Nordea-Fonden and TrygFonden. Novo Nordisk Fonden is strategic partner and TV 2 is Royal Run’s media partner.
