Kongernes 5-dages 2024, Stage 5 – Christian V

Gribskov.

This 5-day event needs more attention from the world of runners!
It’s organized really well and has this great blend of competitive and friendly atmosphere.
Ok, it helps that we are many runners that have met at other running events, but when we start meeting every day, something just happens and this “familly-feeling” grows into it.
Ok, I will say that the difference between the first 1 mile run around Kronborg and then to the other races are big.


Especially stages 3-5 that are really challenging trails.
Today was a “hunt-start”, starting with the fastest runner starting and then the consecutively slower runners starting in order of total runningtime, one after the other.
I do have a suspicion, that the start order was not all correct, but I do not really care as the race is fun anyhow.
I had to start 2 sec’s (!) after one runner that was in no way ever faster then me…
The trail itself was a mix of really easy runnable parts and some totally impossible ones 😀
I was totally empty with one K to go.
But I pushed and made an effort.
After the run it was organized with an after party with grill and good company.
Thanks to all the other runners making this such a good race and a big thanks to the organizers for making an event that I will absolutely do again next year.

Came in 26(!) overall. My legs where totally finished in the end 😀
