Register for the lottery for free

Register for the lottery between 16–30 September, either individually or as a group of up to 3 people. You can only register for the lottery once. You can read more about group registration further down the page.

Wait for the draw

Once the lottery closes, we will conduct a draw among everyone who has registered. This will determine who gets the opportunity to purchase an entry to CPH Half 2027.

Keep an eye on your inbox from 5 October

From 5 October, we will begin contacting runners who have been drawn. If you registered as part of a group, each group member will receive their own email and must complete their registration individually. Remember to check your spam folder too. If you have both a group registration and an individual registration, only the group registration will count in the draw.

Have you been drawn?

From the moment the email reaches your inbox, you have 48 hours to complete your registration and purchase your entry for DKK 795 + a 5% administration fee.

Want to take on Copenhagen with friends?

You can register for the lottery as a group of up to 3 people. Only one person needs to register the entire group.

You can only be registered for the lottery once. If you are part of a group, you cannot also register individually or as part of another group.

If your group is drawn, each group member will receive their own email with a link to complete their registration. It is then up to each group member whether they want to use the opportunity to purchase an entry. If one person in the group no longer wants or is unable to take part, the other group members can still complete their registrations.

The emails may not arrive at the same time, so don’t worry if someone else in your group hears from us before you do.

 

Why a lottery?

Interest in CPH Half is high. That is why we allocate entries to CPH Half through a lottery, giving all runners a fair chance.

It is free to enter, and entries are allocated through a random draw among everyone who has registered.

Copenhagen is not the only half marathon with a lottery. The other races in the SuperHalfs series also use lotteries, making it a familiar route to the start line for runners around the world.

As entries are personal and cannot be transferred or resold, there is no legitimate private market for CPH Half 2027 entries. If someone offers to sell you an entry, it cannot be transferred to you and is therefore not valid.

Your entry is personal

If you are drawn and complete your registration, your CPH Half entry is personal. It cannot be transferred, sold, or given to another runner.

There will be no Resale Platform for CPH Half 2027. This also means that entries cannot be bought or sold between individuals. If someone offers to sell you an entry to CPH Half 2027, it is not a valid entry that can be transferred to you.

Instead, you will have the option to purchase a Refund Protect through Refundable.me when completing your registration.

The Refund Protect can only be purchased at the same time as your entry and cannot be added afterwards.
