BESTSELLER AARHUS CITY HALVMARATHON


ARE YOU JOINING THE BESTSELLER AARHUS CITY HALF 2025?
On June 15, 2025, Aarhus will once again dress up for a running festival as thousands of runners take over the streets. In 2025, it will be the 12th time that Aarhus Motion organizes the half marathon in Aarhus – and the first time under the new name, BESTSELLER Aarhus City Half. This also marks the 10th year that BESTSELLER is the main sponsor of the race.
The city will be buzzing with life as Aarhus’ city center is closed for trafic and filled with thousands of runners and spectators. In 2024, the race was completely sold out, with 13,000 runners and around 50,000 spectators joining the celebration.
Experience a race where you’ll be carried forward by world-class entertainment, scenic running routes, and incredible support from the city’s residents!


MORE THAN 10 TOP ATTRACTIONS ON THE ROUTE
One of the hallmarks of the BESTSELLER Aarhus City Half is its city-centered route, where thousands of spectators cheer and create an electric atmosphere throughout the city. Aarhus is a city full of life, and you’ll truly feel its pulse as you take on the 21.0975 km course.
At BESTSELLER Aarhus City Half, we showcase the very best of Aarhus. Iconic landmarks like ARoS Art Museum, Musikhuset, and the City Hall Tower can be admired in the start and finish area. The course then takes you past several attractions, including Aarhus Cathedral, DOKK1, and Tivoli Friheden.



HOTSPOTS AND ENTERTAINMENT
We turn up the music, dance, cheer, and celebrate—so much that you’ll (almost) forget about the time and distance. Along the route, you’ll encounter everything from cheerleaders to brass bands and power zones blasting high-energy music.
Bestseller Aarhus City Half is the race in Denmark with the most entertainment along the course, so one thing is certain: you definitely won’t be bored. With more than 60 hotspots along the route, we promise an experience that engages all your senses.
A unique feature of the event is our tour caravane, inspired by major cycling races. Driving ahead of the runners, it sets the perfect mood for the 50,000 spectators, getting them ready to cheer you on every step of the way.
