See which monarchs turned out for Denmark’s Royal Run

Royalty joined the races.

On Monday, May 20, runners across Denmark joined in on the Royal Run races. Royals like Queen Mary and Crown Prince Christian were spotted taking part in the runs.

What is the Royal Run? As Visit Copenhagen explains, Royal Run is an event in cities across Denmark where communities can participate in 1.6, 5, and 10-kilometer races with the Crown Prince’s family.

“Royal Run is for everyone, regardless of fitness and age, who wants to be part of the fun community around the yearly tradition. Crown Prince Frederik and the informal meeting between the royal family and the public are the main attraction and core objectives of the run,” the Visit Copenhagen website says.
