LIGHTRACES ALONG THE LIGHTWORKS
We look forward to welcoming you again this year to the Light Run — where you yourself pass and become part of the lighting works during the Copenhagen Light Festival
We are again making a very special route with a light chain on the body in the oldest part of Copenhagen.
You can run
-
1 old danish mile that 6.8 km and or choose
-
½ Danish mile (3.4 km) - also called the family run
(See English below this page)
Make a little extra out of the light-costume
In addition to the light chain you are handed before take-off, we encourage EVERYONE to wear several luminous objects and enter the contest for best-looking “light attire” .
We honor the best looking with a great hotel stay.
Run for a good cause
We cooperate with Make-A-Wish Denmark, where 5% of the ticket price from Lyløbet goes to fulfill wishes for children with life-threatening diseases.
We also cooperate with Copenhagen Front Runners, which belongs to Pan Idræt
Together we spread light, hope and joy in an otherwise dark time
Copenhagen Light Festival and the light race started together 8 years ago. Last year 1,200 runners took part, all of whom are invited again.
The race of 1/2 Danish mile is approximately 3 km and starts at 17.00.
The 1 Danish mile race is approximately 6.8 km and **starts at 6 p.m. **
Both races start at Inderhavnsbron in Havnegade. Children u/16 years old can also be enrolled at half price. You can pick up your number at the same place before the race.

Copenhagen Light Festival is an annual light festival that transforms the quiet and cold winter darkness into a unique celebration of light art, lighting design and lighting in central Copenhagen.
For three weeks in February, the festival presents a wide range of light-based works — such as sculptures, installations, projection mapping, events and lighting created by both established and upcoming lighting artists, lighting designers, students and organizations.
With a bespoke lighting programme selected by a curatorial committee, the festival exhibits, highlights and interprets the city's diverse spaces, squares, facades, bridges and hidden places in a new and engaging way.
The majority of the light works are located along a footpath in the inner city and harbour, while a selection of artworks can be experienced in areas outside the city centre.
The festival invites both international and local audiences of all ages to enjoy the city during the darkest and even coldest time of the year.
