Elite
We will reveal this year’s elitefield later in 2024
We can’t wait to present a fantastic elite field with some of the best runners!
Placement in the elite field
The elite field is divided into an A field (the international elite field) and a B field.
Elite A
Runners in the Elite A field typically receive an invitation directly from the organizer. Should you wish to be placed in the Elite A field – and you have not received an invitation – you are welcome to contact our elite manager at elite@sparta.dk
The placement will then be based on an individual assessment. In previous races, Elite A has consisted of runners with half marathon times under 62.00 minutes for men and 74 minutes for women.
Elite B
Runners who meet the time requirements below have the opportunity to be placed in Elite field B for the Copenhagen Half Marathon:
Men:
HM: 68 min : 00 sec
10K: 30 min : 40 sec
5K: 14 min : 45 sec
Women:
HM: 77 min : 00 sec
10K: 34 min : 40 sec
5K: 16 min : 40 sec
Times must be achieved in the period between 1/1-2023 and 8/9-2024 in a valid competition.
For a competition to be valid, it must be registered with the Danish Athletics for Danish races or with a similar organization for foreign races. The route must also be correctly measured (DAF or AIMS measured) and thus certified by the national athletics federation and/or AIMS.
Documentation will be required for the qualification time to be used as a basis for the elite ranking.
