Sub Rosa Copenhagen - Winter 2026
Sub Rosa returns. And this time, we’re back on home turf.
Having toured across Asia, Europe and the United States, we’re finally bringing Sub Rosa back to Copenhagen on February 19th at Mad & Kaffe - together with our friends at SOS Running, M&K Running and To Øl. Same underground energy. Same unspoken rules - perhaps with a little twist.
After the run, we’ve got you covered. Expect a proper refuel from Mad & Kaffe, paired with cold drinks from To Øl to bring the pulse back down. A moment to recharge, hang out, and swap stories from the route.
Date: February 19
Meeting point: Mad & Kaffe, Sønder Boulevard 68, 1720 Vesterbro.
Check-in: 17:15-17:45
Race starts: 18:00
Limited spots available.
TRACK DOWN AN UNKNOWN NUMBER OF CHECKPOINTSThis is an alleycat-style race, where the goal is to track down an unknown number of checkpoints throughout town. You don’t know how many or how far you’ll run. We’ll only give you the first checkpoint seconds before takeoff.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
It’ll require navigation skills and local city knowledge. In order to win, you’ll need to be quick on your feet and even quicker with your decisions. Look below for all the practical details:
THE RACE FORMAT
-
All runners will be dressed in a SAYSKY scrimmage vest, so we can tell who is who and you can see who you'll be running away from.
-
You'll need to track down a couple of checkpoints in a specific order to complete the city-based course.
-
The first checkpoint will be provided during the race briefing, shortly before takeoff.
-
There is no fixed course or path to follow. It's up to you to find the fastest way to the checkpoints through the city.
-
The distance will be somewhere between 5k - 10k. It depends on the number of checkpoints and how well you can navigate the city.
-
Once you reach a checkpoint, you'll get a mark on your wristband so we can see that you've been there.
-
At each checkpoint, you'll be informed about the location of the next checkpoint.
-
You'll start and finish in the same place (Checkpoint 0).
-
The first man and woman to return back with all checkpoint marks wins.
-
Bonus rewards for the best and worst navigators.
PLEASE NOTE
We expect you to locate the checkpoints without the assistance of your smartphones. If you're in doubt, you can always ask around. Our checkpoint staff can also point you in the right direction if you look overly confused.
But don't worry too much - we've only picked well-known locations in the city. If you're still struggling, then we suggest keeping up with someone who knows their way around the block and then beat them on the final stretch.
Please arrive ready to roll, but you can leave your personal belongings safely at checkpoint 0.
