DHL Stafetten Odense 2026

DHL Stafetten Odense is Funen’s largest company event, featuring five-person teams in Odense S, Denmark. It takes place over four days in August, with workplaces selecting their preferred evening. The primary event is a 5 x 5 km relay, where each runner completes 5 km before handing off the baton. A 5 km walk is also available for teams prioritizing the social aspect over competition. The relay begins at 5:30 PM, and the walk starts at 6:15 PM. Start and finish are located at Engen near Skovsøen in Fruens Bøge. The running course crosses Odense Zoo, while the walking route passes through Den Fynske Landsby. Small initial groups help maintain a smooth start. Most participants represent companies, and larger contingents can register as ambassadors to secure tents, grills, tables, and chairs. Each team receives five race numbers, a baton, and a food box with drink coupons redeemable for beer, soda, or wine. This event marks its 23rd year in Odense.
