The two routes are separate, but both offer plenty of festive entertainment and music to keep you motivated. When you reach the finish line, there are refreshment zones serving water and High5 energy drinks in cups.
Grilling tips
Help reduce grill smoke along the course with these 5 grilling tips:1. Choose grill size as needed and avoid disposable grills.
2. Place the grill behind the tent (at least 3 meters away) or farthest from the running route.
3. Use gas if possible instead of charcoal.
4. Reduce the amount of lighter fluid. Use a grill starter or gas for ignition.
5. Start the grill well before the run begins.

Bib Numbers
All participants in running or walking must wear a visible bib number on their chest. Peel off the back of the bib number and stick it directly onto your shirt. It’s important that the bib number corresponds to the relay you are running. If you’re running multiple legs, wear all bib numbers from the start. All walk bib numbers are marked in red and with a ‘W’.

The depeche
In the envelope sent with your bib numbers, you’ll find a single-use ‘depeche’. It’s made of strong cardboard and should be rolled up. Carry it in your hand while running or walking. The depeche contains a small chip that records your time. Therefore, it’s crucial that the first runner brings the depeche from the start and passes it to the next runners until your team is finished. Since the whole walk team stays together, one participant can carry the depeche from start to finish.

Meal Box pickup
Well before participating in DHL Relay Copenhagen, you’ll receive an email with a meal box voucher in the form of a QR code. Show this voucher when picking up your food and snack boxes on the day of your run or walk. Food and snack boxes can be collected at Sparta’s distribution tent at the entrance to Fælledparken from Øster Allé between 16:30 and 20:00.

Beverage purchase
Each food and snack box contains 5 vouchers for a free round of drinks. Each voucher can be redeemed for a Carlsberg draft beer or a water/soda, or you can use all 5 coupons for a carton of red wine. This takes place at Carlsberg’s bars spread throughout Fælledparken. There’s also a small bar about halfway along the walking route where you can buy beer. If you have purchased ‘1 extra round’ vouchers, they must be collected in Spartas distribution tent, located at the entrance from Øster Allé. At the same tent you can buy extra vouchers.
Recycling Spots
When you need to dispose of your waste, you must use our recycling spots. Here you sort your waste and other items for recycling and reuse. At the Recycling Spots you can sort: hard plastic and food & drinks carton, food waste with packaging, clean cardboard, washable mugs from Carlsbergs bars and residual waste.
At each Recycling Spot you will find a DropZone. Here you leave all other items that don’t fit in the sorting at the Recycle Spot. E.g. styrofoam barrels, plastic boxes, disposable grills, glass, etc.
You can find a Recycling Spot next to all Carlsberg bars in Fælledparken.
Results
You can monitor your live times in the DHL Stafetten Kbh app and on sparta.dk/dhl. Here, you can also see your individual times and your team’s overall time afterward. Runners should note that the total team time includes transition time, while individual running times exclude transition time. If your team’s participant names should appear on the results list, you need to add participant names via your team’s online registration profile. You can do this both before and after you’ve run.
Timing
Your depeche is equipped with a small chip that records both your individual running times and the team’s overall time. Therefore, it’s important to carry the depeche from start to finish. Runners pass the depeche to the next person in the exchange zone, while for the walk team, it’s sufficient for one person to carry the depeche, as the group remains together from start to finish.

Team Composition
All teams have selected a team category during registration – either 5 men, 5 women, or mixed M/F. If you haven’t specifically chosen a category, mixed M/F will be automatically selected. If your team’s composition changes, you can update this at any time in your team’s registration profile.
