On Sunday the 17^th of September, the Copenhagen Half Marathon is hosted less than 30 minutes away. Hence, we will move the conference to be in the area of CPH Half, so we are close to the action and offers a unique combination of learning with all the top runners in the backyard eg. watching the elite road mile as a part of the CPH Half. 

We also offer a start spot for interested summit participants, and with a course record of 58:01 and 15 male runners running sub-60 in 2022 it’s a great place to set PB’s for yourself or one of your athletes.
