Last year in May, more than 70,000 Danes ran in Denmark’s five largest cities when Royal Run was held in connection with HRH The Crown Prince’s 50th birthday. This year, success will repeat itself when Royal Run 2019 takes place on 10 June in Aarhus, Aalborg and Copenhagen/Frederiksberg.

In connection with the launch of Royal Run 2019, The Crown Prince says,
“I look forward, together with the rest of Denmark, to spending a day characterized by motion. It is my hope that many will again have the desire to challenge themselves and exercise in some beautiful settings all around the country. Last year was a fantastic day. It will make me happy to see a whole lot of returning runners this year – but also new ones who have gotten a taste for it.”

Royal Run is not a classic exercise run that prioritizes the finishing time. It is possible both to run and to walk all of the distances, and there are special miles for families that want to take the baby carriage along out on the route. Just like last year. As something new, Royal Run 2019 begins as early as 1 June, when The Crown Prince runs on the Faroe Islands. On 10 June, The Crown Prince opens Royal Run by running the One Mile in Aarhus. HRH The Crown Princess provides backup for the run by running 5 km in Aalborg, and The Crown Prince concludes the day by running 10 km in Copenhagen/Frederiksberg.
