Finally, it is time for a running celebration in Aarhus again! In collaboration with Saucony and Løbeshop.dk, we have planned three great test runs with the meeting point at Løbeshop’s physical store. The training sessions are for everyone – whether you are registered for BESTSELLER Aarhus City Half or simply love running with others.
Get in top form, try test shoes, get great advice and enjoy the community with other runners. There are plenty of good reasons to join this year’s test runs!
With a focus on the social aspect, Saucony will be joined by enthusiastic coaches from Mikkeller Running Club, who will lead the warm-up, training focus and route plan. Meet us at Løbeshop’s store at Kalkværksvej 1, 8000 Aarhus C, and join us for a run in the surrounding area. Even though we run together as a large group, it is important to follow traffic rules and show consideration in traffic, so everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience.
Experienced running coaches will guide you safely through the training, and we will divide the groups by level, so you always run with others at the same level as you. Each training session has its own focus, and you can also test different running shoes from Saucony. Just find your size and try them out!
Vitamin Well will provide refreshments, we will bring the good vibes, and you can safely store your change of clothes at Løbeshop.dk during the training. Lace up your running shoes – we look forward to running with you!

Get ready for the running celebration in Aarhus! Before BESTSELLER Aarhus City Half kicks off for the 13th time, we invite you to a fun and social running event: Shake Out Run.
On Saturday, 13 June at 10:00, you can meet other runners, enjoy the city atmosphere and take a relaxed run on parts of the route. Perfect for feeling the excitement, meeting other participants and getting a little head start before the big day – no stress, just running and good vibes!
Practical information
We will meet in front of Musikhuset and go for a relaxed run of approx. 5 km through Aarhus. The route takes you around the city and includes parts of Sunday’s half marathon route.
Skilled captains from Mikkeller Running Club will make sure everyone gets safely out and back. The pace is social, so everyone can keep up. It is all about community, loosening up your legs and having fun. Shake Out Run is free, with no race bibs and no marked route. However, please sign up on this page to secure your spot for a cosy morning with other runners.
