Beringsstafetten 2026

Beringsstafetten is a five-runner relay held in Bygholm Park, Horsens, each August. Each runner completes 2.65 km, making the race short, fast, and focused on team performance over individual times. It is the city’s largest sports event, attracting about 4,000 participants and 1,500 spectators. The relay includes men’s, women’s, and mixed categories, plus a walking class for teams seeking a shared outdoor activity without the pressure of handovers. The course involves five laps within the park. The walking class has all five team members start together on a 5 km route. Teams form from workplaces, clubs, families, neighbors, and friend groups, with the event emphasizing its social aspect. Companies are invited to set up tents displaying their names or logos, and each team gets a food basket with beer or water post-race. The event benefits local clubs Atletica and Horsens OK, co-organizers, and previous years have featured hundreds of relay teams alongside a separate children’s race.
