Time for a pair of new running shoes? The shoes are a runner’s most important piece of equipment, but it’s difficult to choose just the right pair without being able to test them in action beforehand.
If you are running the NIKE Marathontest 1 on Sunday, you have the opportunity to do just that. NIKE will be at the race giving you the chance to choose a pair of running shoes that you would like to test on the 10K course.
Just show up well in time and bring your old running shoes, and NIKE will help you find just the pair of shoes for you to wear in the race. NIKE will be in the Sparta Hallen as of 8.45 am – look for the red pavillon.

To Managing director in Sparta, Dorte Vibjerg, running is not only her job. For the next months she will devote more or less her entire time to running while training to qualify for marathon at the Olympic Games in London this summer. Right now Dorte is in South Africa to cut off the 14 seconds required for her to qualify for the Games from July 27 – August 12.
We are excited to follow Dorte on her way towards the Olympics. The newspaper Børsen also wrote an article about Dorte (only in Danish) – read it here

We are working at full throttle to determine the final course for the Nykredit Copenhagen Marathon 2012. This weekend President of Sparta, Niels Jørgen Holdt, and Race director Lars Nissen set our on their bikes to carry out the first preliminary examination of the marathon course.
Also this year the race distinguishes itself as a true city marathon with several entertainment hot spots, great urban atmosphere and lots of spectators, and the runners will pass by many beautiful, historic sights and buildings in Inner Copenhagen.
As in the previous years the racers will cross the start and finish line at Islands Brygge, continue over the Langebro bridge and into central Copenhagen. Runners will pass by attractions such as the Tivoli, the City Hall, Rosenborg Castle, the parliament building Christiansborg, The Royal Library and Nyhavn. And of course you will get a glance at The Little Mermaid.
The course will later be measured and approved by the Danish Athletics Federation and IAAF.
Start from Islands Brygge
Lars and Niels Jørgen ready for measuring

Now more than 10.000 runners have joined the Nykredit Copenhagen Marathon. There are a diffrence between the official participant list and this number. The reason why is that students and some foreign still not have been transfered from our old administration system to the new one. But as long as you have recieved an order confirmation everything is all right.
But over 10.000 now – and you are one of them – we are getting close to the record from last year.
