Two years ago, Copenhagen Marathon sold out for the first time ever \u2013 after about six months. Last year, it took 12 weeks.<\/p>\n

Around 7,000 runners from this year\u2019s marathon completed the post-race survey, rating their overall experience an impressive 9 out of 10. The Net Promoter Score (NPS) is also high \u2013 78 among Danish runners and 82 among international participants.<\/p>\n

Next year\u2019s edition of the Copenhagen Marathon will take place on Sunday, May 10.<\/p>\n
