Should you race here?
A Metro station five minutes from the door, in a city that is easy to move around and expensive to eat in.
Reasons to
- Bella Center has its own M1 station, five minutes from the entrance.
- The airport is about ten minutes away by taxi, the shortest transfer in this guide.
- Twelve and a half hours of daylight, with the light back after the winter.
- The Metro runs through the night, so an early wave and a late flight both work.
Reasons not to
- Easter closes a lot of the city for three of the four race days.
- Eating out is dear, at DKK 140 to 160 for an ordinary meal.
- It rains on about ten days in March, at 79% humidity.
- The clocks go forward on the Sunday, the last day of the weekend.
Conditions on the day
BIOTHERM HYROX Copenhagen runs March 25th, 2027 to March 28th, 2027 at Bella Center. Here is what that specific window is like on the ground.
The catch
Cold and wet, with the light back
7°C (45°F) by day, 2°C (35°F) at night
Copenhagen at the end of March
- The March average reaches 7°C (45°F) by day and falls to 2°C (35°F) at night.
- Humidity sits at 79%, and 37mm of rain falls across about ten days of the month.
- Daylight runs 05:59 to 18:32, twelve and a half hours.
- The clocks go forward on 28 March, so the last day of the weekend starts an hour later by the clock.

Copenhagen has moved building, moved season, and grown from a single day into the best part of a week. Where you race, and when, changes the day more than most people expect.
Bella Center, your race is in this building
The largest exhibition and congress centre in Scandinavia, on the Amager flats south of the city, with its own Metro station five minutes from the door.
Known for. Trade fairs and congresses, and the COP15 climate summit in 2009.
The building. Opened in 1975 on reclaimed land at Ørestad, and rebuilt and extended several times since as the district grew around it.
Race day and start times
The thing that shapes your travel is not the race date. It is when you find out what time you are racing on it.
Hyrox links individual start times on the event page a few days before the race. A provisional schedule goes up earlier and the page calls it subject to change.
What to bring
At Bella Center, and only on the day you compete. Registration opens 90 minutes before the first wave of your division. Hyrox lists early check-in as to be confirmed.
You do not bring a chip. You collect the ankle strap at check-in, wear it for the race, and hand it back after the line.
What your wristband does not cover
You are given a wristband at check-in. Hyrox has not published what the Copenhagen one admits you to. Check-in is open only on the day you race, so do not assume it covers a second day.
Getting there on the morning
The M1 to Bella Center, five minutes from the entrance. The Copenhagen Metro runs all night, so every wave is covered.
What you need to book
Before you book
Book flights and the last night around the provisional schedule, and remember the clocks go forward on the Sunday.
If Hyrox cancels or postpones the event, its terms do not cover your flights or your room. Check the cancellation deadline on both before you pay for either.
Flying into the city
Malmö is half an hour across the Øresund bridge, and some low-cost routes land there instead.

Getting to Copenhagen
Copenhagen airport is about ten minutes from the venue by taxi for DKK 200 to 250, and on the Metro with one change.
The Metro from the airport
Kastrup is on the same island as the venue. Take the Metro and change at Christianshavn onto the M1 towards Vestamager.
A taxi from the airport
About ten minutes in normal traffic for DKK 200 to 250, which is the shortest airport transfer of any race in this guide.
Entry requirements
Quick tip
The Metro runs all night in Copenhagen, which covers an early wave and a late flight alike.
Getting to the venue
Ørestad is the venue's own district, new and quiet, with the Metro at the door. Indre By is ten to fifteen minutes away and is where the city actually is.
The M1 stops at Bella Center, five minutes from the entrance, and the airport is on the same network with one change at Christianshavn. A 24-hour City Pass is DKK 100 and pays for itself on the fifth journey.
Where to stay
The venue is at Ørestad on Amager, a new district on the Metro. The old city is ten to fifteen minutes north.
Open in Google Maps · Get directions
1. Hotels in Ørestad
The venue's own district, built in the last twenty years around the Metro line. Quiet, modern and close enough to walk.
2. Hotels in Indre By
Nyhavn, the palaces and most of the restaurants. Ten to fifteen minutes on the M1 and the reason people come to Copenhagen.
3. Hotels in Nørrebro
The young, mixed district with the cafes and the cheaper rooms. Twenty-two minutes out on the Metro.
Easter falls across the race weekend, so the city is busier than an ordinary March and holiday hours apply. Ørestad is quieter than the centre and nearer the hall.
Neighbourhoods worth the commute
Copenhagen runs north from the venue along one Metro line, and the districts get older as you go.
| Area | To the venue | Why | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ørestad | 5 to 15 min on foot | The new district on Amager built along the M1, with the venue in the middle of it. Modern, planned and quiet. | |
| Indre By | 10 to 15 min by Metro | The historic centre: Nyhavn, Strøget, the palaces and most of the good restaurants. Dense and expensive. | |
| Christianshavn | about 12 min by Metro | The canal district between Amager and the centre, with Christiania at one end. Atmospheric and quieter than Indre By. | |
| Nørrebro | about 22 min by Metro | Mixed, young and full of cafes, with good cheap eating and rooms below Indre By prices. | |
| Vesterbro | about 30 min | Behind the central station, with the meatpacking district and its bars. Lively, and the longest trip of these. |
Eating before and after
The night before a race is not the night for the best meal of your trip, which is harder discipline than it sounds in a city this good at food.
Ørestad's centre
The shopping centre beside the Metro has ordinary places doing pasta, rice and grilled chicken. No source names a specific one with a price, so pick by the queue.
Christianshavn
Twelve minutes up the M1, with plain kitchens along the canal that serve from six. Closer than the centre and quieter on a holiday weekend.
Danish food here means smørrebrød, which is lunch rather than dinner and is worth planning a lunch around.
Smørrebrød at Schønnemann
An 1877 basement off Hauser Plads doing open rye sandwiches and nothing else. Herring, in several forms, is what to come for.
Smørrebrød at Aamanns 1921
A more modern take on the same thing, near Nyhavn, with its own bakery and cured fish. Lighter than Schønnemann and easier to get into.
Race day supplies
The practical failures that spoil a race weekend are almost never the training. They are forgetting the gels, or carrying a kit bag around a city for six hours.
Pack list
- Warm and waterproof. It is 7°C (45°F) by day and rains on about ten days in March.
- Something for 2°C (35°F) at dawn, which is when you will be travelling to the hall.
- A card. Denmark is close to cashless and most places prefer it.
Quick tips
- Buy a 24-hour City Pass at DKK 100 rather than singles at DKK 24.
- Three of the four race days are public holidays. Book dinner rather than turning up.
Ørestad has a shopping centre at the Metro station with a supermarket. Danish shops keep holiday hours over Easter, so buy what you need before Thursday.
The last race in Copenhagen
Hyrox raced at Bella Center in March 2026, but no verified hall assignment or course detail from that edition was published, so there is little local form to pass on.
What happened
The last edition, in short.
- Bella Center station on the M1 is five minutes' walk from the entrance.
- The race falls across Easter, and three of the four days are Danish public holidays.
What it means for you
How your race differs from that one.
- The clocks go forward on 28 March, the last day of the race weekend.
- A 24-hour City Pass is DKK 100 against DKK 24 for a single journey.
What else is on that weekend
Easter, which closes the city for three of the four race days.
| What | When | Where | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maundy Thursday and Good Friday | 25 and 26 March | Across Denmark | Both are public holidays. Shops and many restaurants keep holiday hours, so check before relying on a place being open. |
| Easter Sunday | 28 March | Across Denmark | A public holiday, and the day the clocks go forward. The last day of the race weekend is the most disrupted one. |
| CPH:DOX | Until 27 March | Cinemas across the city | The documentary festival overlaps the first three days. It fills cinemas rather than hotels, and is a good thing to do between waves. |
| Tivoli's Easter season | 19 to 29 March | Indre By, by the central station | The gardens open for Easter across the whole race weekend. Admission was reported at DKK 200, rides extra. |
What to see
Written for someone racing tomorrow, not a tourist with a week. Each entry says how far it is, because some of these are worth a longer trip and some are not.
Tivoli Gardens
An 1843 pleasure garden in the middle of the city, open for its Easter season across this race weekend. Gentle, compact and lit up after dark.
Nyhavn
The painted eighteenth-century houses along a canal of wooden boats. It is the picture of Copenhagen and it takes twenty minutes to walk.
The Round Tower
A seventeenth-century observatory climbed by a spiral ramp rather than stairs, built so a horse and cart could reach the top. The city from above without a lift.
Christiania
A self-declared free town on an old barracks site in Christianshavn, going since 1971. Odd, green and unlike the rest of the city.
What to do
The harbour path
A continuous waterfront route through the middle of the city, flat and separated from traffic. The obvious shake-out run once you are up in town.
Amager Fælled, next door
A large common of scrub and water immediately north of Ørestad, with gravel paths and no traffic. The closest open ground to the venue.
A bike for the day
Copenhagen is built around cycling, with separated lanes on nearly every street. Renting one costs little and saves your legs for the race.
CPH:DOX
The documentary festival runs until 27 March in cinemas across town. A dark room and a seat is a good use of the day before a race.
