The popular Great Belt Bridge Run is set to make a comeback next year, offering participants a chance to run across the iconic bridge with a spectacular view.

Per Hansen, the race director, explained that the break was needed for the volunteer team to recuperate. "Last time was a big task, and as volunteers, we needed some time to recover," he stated. For the upcoming run, 10,000 bib numbers will be available. The race will commence in Nyborg on the island of Funen and conclude on the Zealand side in Korsør.

The return of the Great Belt Bridge Run is anticipated by many runners who enjoy participating in unique and scenic race locations. The logistical challenges of organizing such an event across a major bridge are substantial, highlighting the dedication of the organizers and volunteers involved.
