The countryside and the terrain around Skagen offer excellent running conditions. The flat terrain means that you do not have to worry about steep slopes and instead you can focus on running and enjoying the sights. The trail is a very pleasant one, not only because of nature, but also because of the varied surfaces, which puts less strain on your feet than running on tarmac only.
You will pass many beautiful and iconic places, such as Den Tilsandede Kirke, which was covered by sand drifts in the 17’th century.
Skagen Marathon leads you through the beautiful nature at the top of Denmark. The Marathon trail leads you through the dune plantation, along the beaches, past Gl. Skagen and the northern most point of Denmark and through the city of Skagen. The traffic will be partially shut, to ensure the safety of the participants.
The marathon runners follow the half marathon route twice. The route is marked with a blue line on the road.
Start and finish at "Fiskerhuskajen.”
