Efterårsløbet 2026

Experience the vibrant colors of autumn at HCA Marathon's Efterårsløb, set amidst the natural beauty of Kohaveskoven on the outskirts of Odense. This picturesque 5 km loop through the forest offers runners an enchanting journey filled with golden leaves and crisp air. Participants can choose to run either a 5 km or a 10 km route, both completed within a maximum time limit of one hour and fifteen minutes.
The event promises more than just scenic running; it includes unique post-race treats such as fresh apples, local spring water, and Faxe Kondi beverages at the finish line. Warm soup with bread awaits runners on UngOdense’s schoolyard, providing comfort after a refreshing run through Kohaveskoven's serene trails.
Additional perks include a delicious neck ribbon for all participants, changing facilities, and supervised baggage storage to ensure your belongings are secure during the race. The event also offers an online diploma upon completion, adding a digital touch to commemorate the day’s achievements.
Registration options range from early bird discounts starting May 1st through October 30th, standard rates up until then, and on-site registration if spots remain available. For young runners aged 5-14 participating in the children's race of 2.5 km, there are similar tiered pricing structures to encourage family participation.
