NBRO Running x DISTORTION

Last year we took over Nørrebrogade.

This year we move to Istedgade.

A 1000m all-out sprint through one of Copenhagen’s most iconic streets. Starting at 15:45, just before Istedgade transforms into a massive celebration of music, culture and city life.

A street that's seen it all. Chaos, nightlife, culture, characters and people doing things their own way. A street that never really cared much about the rules.

So naturally, this is where Beat The Street belongs.

Distortion, NBRO Running and LOVER are teaming up once again to throw down one of Copenhagen's wildest races.

1000 meters. One street. Hundreds of runners. Thousands of people.

Thursday June 4th at 15:45 we turn Istedgade into the fastest street in Copenhagen, just before the city explodes into music, parties and pure summer energy.

This isn't really about PBs.

It's about energy.

About adrenaline.

About taking over the streets with your friends and feeling Copenhagen underneath your feet.

SAFETY FIRST

This race happens in the middle of a real city, with real people and real chaos.

We do everything we can to keep the route clear, but keep your eyes open and take care of each other.

Timing starts when you cross the start line and ends when you cross the finish line, so no pushing, no elbows and no Tour de France behaviour.

Race hard.

Take care of each other.

Come back next year.
