Egeskov Castle Race

A Unique running experience

HCA Marathon and Egeskov Castle invite you to an idyllic race

After a break of several years, Egeskov Slotsløb, one of Funen's most beautiful and scenic races, is finally returning. The HCA Marathon and Egeskov Castle welcome you and combine exercise, fellowship and experiences in the fairytale surroundings of Egeskov Castle in Kværndrup on South Funen.

Run a 10 or 5 km through idyllic nature on country lanes and in the forest. The routes end at the paths at Egeskov Castle. For a more leisurely run, the 5 km route can also be completed as a walk.

For the little ones, a cosy 2.5 km children's race winds its way through the paths around the castle. A race experience out of the ordinary.
