HCA Marathon is a 42.195 km race held in Odense, Denmark, on September 27, 2026. The course is traffic-free through Odense's streets and is known as one of the fastest marathons in the world, with many personal records set. The event also offers a half marathon and a 10 km race, as well as a MiniMarathon for children.

Why attend here

In late September, Odense’s streets turn into a runner’s stage, with music and cheers accompanying you past Hans Christian Andersen’s childhood home and the city’s cozy cobblestone lanes. Between kilometers, fuel up on a classic Danish smørrebrød or a warm æbleskive from a local café, and take a moment to explore the peaceful parks and canals that make this autumn setting feel both lively and serene.
