HCA Marathon
Odense, Southern Denmark, Denmark
HCA Marathon takes runners through Odense, the home city of Hans Christian Andersen. The organiser confirms its 27th edition for 26 September 2027. The published route offers a city-marathon setting with two half-length laps and limited height variation. It is a useful option to compare with Copenhagen for a first marathon or a performance attempt, while keeping the 2026 course preview separate from the final 2027 programme.
