Aalborg Marathon

Description

Aalborg Marathon 2025 is a day where the whole family and all colleagues can join in!

The race has distances for everyone - whether you want to run or walk. Everyone starts at the same place at Skansen Idrætscenter in Nørresundby, which is this year's Eventplads, and our routes will cross and run along our beautiful Limfjord. At the eventplads there will be something for both participants and spectators! For the participants we have the main depot, which has water, fruit, energy drinks and miscellaneous items for everyone. There is a medal and goodie bag for all participants (and the opportunity to get a diploma online on the website).

We have some skilled pacers on the half marathon and marathon distances, who are located in the front part of the starting field, who you can lie down next to - their finish time will be on their backs.

You will be able to pick up your start number at Løberen in Aalborg from Wednesday 13 August and until Friday 15 August at 5:30 PM. After this, it will only be possible to pick up your start number at the Event Square on August 16 at Skansen Sports Center. We also offer changing, shower and toilet facilities in the sports center as well as supervised luggage storage while you run.

After the finish line, there will be a prize presentation to the winners of the running distances for both women and men.

All participants have the opportunity to purchase this year's Aalborg Marathon t-shirt. The deadline for purchasing a t-shirt is July 14, 2025.

For spectators, there will be music and a food truck in addition to an activity area with spikeball, a lounge area and ball games on the colleague's football field. So bring the whole family and have an active day :)

Aalborg Marathon is organized by Aalborg Company Sports and Aalborg Student Sports Association.

The distances

The 5 km route starts at Skansen Sports Center and moves around our beautiful chalk pit and down towards the Limfjord. The route is on the Nørresundby side. Here you will have a depot at the finish line. You finish at Skansen Sports Center.

The 10 km route is two laps of the 5 km route, which is listed above.

The half marathon route (21.09 km) starts at Skansen Sports Center, where you will move along the path system down to the Limfjord and cross the Limfjord via the Culture Bridge and run a loop along the water in Aalborg's west town and harbor, before returning to Nørresundby via the Limfjord Bridge. This route is both a run and a walk.

Finally, we have the marathon route (42.18 km), which is two laps of the half marathon route. Due to the Culture Bridge and the Limfjord Bridge, which open to boat traffic daily, we have a cut-off time of 3 hours (12.15 pm) on this route - which means you must have completed 25 km within 3.5 hours. After this, the bridges may risk being open to possible boat traffic.
