Christmas City Run

The Christmas City Run creates a great atmosphere throughout the city, and you have the opportunity to experience the cosy atmosphere in a pair of running shoes!

Orienteering race filled with Christmas spirit

Christmas City Run is an orienteering race where you can experience the Christmas atmosphere in Aarhus in a whole new way. The route not only takes you past cosy places with sparkling Christmas lights, crispy Christmas cookies and atmospheric music.

Along the way, the posts can also take you past the starry sky on Strøget, the Christmas tree on City Hall Square and exciting tasks at Dokk1. If all this isn't enough to get you in the Christmas spirit, you'll even get to wear a Santa costume for the entire race.

A race for everyone

Christmas City Run is for everyone who runs for fun and exercise. The race takes place in small teams of 2-6 participants and you will be guided around the stations using an app for your smartphone. Before the start, you'll get access and an introduction to the app, after which it's up to your team to coordinate your route in the best possible way.

Cosy finish area

At Bispetorvet in front of the Cathedral, there is a cosy finish area where you can hang out with your team and the other participants.
As a participant you get:

  • Christmas jumper and Christmas scarf
  • Coffee and a delicious snack after the race
  • Great Christmas experience in Aarhus City

The race takes place on Wednesday 4 December.
