THE SECRETS BEHIND THE WORLD’S FASTEST GROWING HALF MARATHON

Demand for the Copenhagen Half Marathon has more than doubled in a year. This year's ballot drew 188,522 applications, 2.3 times more than last year, from runners in 176 countries, peaking at 30 applications every second.

On Thursday 15 October, Dorte Vibjerg (CEO), Lars Nissen (Head of Events) and Cecilie Mikkelsen (Project Coordinator) from Sparta Athletics & Running join Sam Browne (Co-founder & CEO, Let's Do This) to talk about what's driving that growth. How they've built a race runners travel from all over the world for, how Sparta is evolving as demand keeps climbing, and where they're taking the event and the club next.
