BESTSELLER Aarhus City Half

BESTSELLER Aarhus City Half is a half marathon held in Aarhus, Denmark, in June. The distance is 21.097 kilometres, run on a route that is fully closed to traffic. The course is an urban one through the centre of the city, and it is designed as a tour of local sights. Runners pass the ARoS art museum, the concert hall Musikhuset, the City Hall tower, Aarhus Cathedral, the Dokk1 library and the Tivoli Friheden amusement park, so the race doubles as a look at the city's best-known buildings.

Start and finish are in the parks beside the City Hall and Musikhuset, which keeps the whole event in one compact central area. Music acts, cheerleaders and brass bands are spread along the route, and a caravan of vehicles heads the field ahead of the runners.
