ReplyDeleteHi Lynne,
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great update on the marathon and best of luck with the race.
There is a special running tour the day prior to the marathon which is specifically designed for people visiting Copenhagen as supporters. Its called the "pre-marathon tour" (http://running-copenhagen.dk/tour/pre-marathon-tour/) and participants run some of the marathon route, while a local guide provides background to the race, hot spots, etc. The route also passes some of the capitals main sights, so there is a bit of a sightseeing element to it as well.
