Run for Marselisløbet

Run for Marselisløbet is about the joy of running, the forest, and shared running experiences - with a hope of bringing the classic Marselisløbet back. This training run could be the first step towards restarting a tradition in Aarhus.

For 50 years, Marselisløbet and Aarhus Festival went hand in hand. The race was cancelled by Aarhus Motion in 2021, but some of us are still holding on to the hope.

So: come and join this shared training run on the classic 12 km route. We will run the route, talk about good running experiences in the forest, and perhaps also about how we might get the race back on the calendar one day. The hope is that a few people afterwards will want to continue working towards that goal.

It is free to join. There will be no refreshments, and participation is at your own risk. We will follow the traffic rules and look after each other.

The route will be shared as a GPX file and as a Strava route. If many people join, there will be pace leaders for every tempo who know the route. Find the info in the days before the race on the Facebook event.

Come and run with us.
