About DANISH SPRING

DANISH SPRING is 3 races in just 24 hours: One middle distance mass start and the double-relay Saturday evening and Sunday.

The basic idea is to prepare the clubs for the large relay events via challenging and fun competition, having the same spectator friendly arena as the pivot for the whole event. It’s going ot be “vild” on the arena, featuring start and finish for all classes, map change, relay change, lots of runners passing, speaking, music, GPS tracking og maybe more media, childrens course, cafeteria in the circus tent and sale of clothes and equipment.

The programm also leaves time for restitution and “social life”, as both the break between the races Saturday and in the night is one hour longer than in 2012. DANISH SPRING follows 21 exiting years of Spring Cup in the early spring-weekend.
