H.C. Andersen Marathon

Welcome to the 25th edition of the HCA Marathon

HCA Marathon is excited to welcome all participants and spectators to Odense on Sunday, September 28, 2025, for its 25th event.

We place great emphasis on ensuring that everyone, whether first-timers or seasoned runners, enjoys a fantastic race and leaves Odense with a memorable experience. The course will be traffic-free for six hours, taking runners through the streets of Odense in a true city marathon atmosphere.

The HCA Marathon is an event for the entire family. You can also participate in the Half Marathon or "Run the Last 10." Children and young people can create their own adventure by taking part in the MiniMarathon, a 1/10 marathon (4.2 km).
