Kjellerup Special 2027

Step into the heart of Kjellerup, Denmark, on October 16, 2027, for an extraordinary endurance challenge: The 33rd Kjellerup Special. This unique event invites runners to traverse a scenic route around and within the charming town over a period of 24 hours. Participants start their journey at 8:00 AM from Kjellerup Hall near the local school on Tinghusvej, embarking on an initial loop of 10.3 kilometers that encircles the village.
The course then shifts to shorter loops around central Kjellerup, each approximately 4.5 kilometers long, offering runners a chance to take in the town’s historic charm and vibrant atmosphere as they push their limits. Completing at least 100 kilometers earns participants an official diploma commemorating their achievement.
Accommodations are available on-site for those who wish to stay overnight during the event, allowing runners to rest up between loops while enjoying communal meals provided in the package price of DKK 375 (if registered by September 2nd) or DKK 425 thereafter. The menu includes coffee and tea, juice, bread with toppings, cake, warm food on Saturday night, and breakfast provisions for both days.
The Kjellerup Special is more than just a race; it’s an experience that celebrates community spirit and the joy of long-distance running in one of Denmark's most picturesque settings.
