WOW!! 53:10 is a great time for a 10k!! Great job CP Mary! This event is IMO, absolutely wonderful. Not just a normal birthday party for a prince, that's for sure. I am so proud of the way they have included all of Denmark in this birthday celebration.

Wow! I am amazed at all who have turned out for the royal run. Vets, bakers, kids, and even 4 generations of family members!
Impressive!!!

A 92 year old lady took part in one of the mile runs. The ones she were with, were a bit too slow for her taste, so she left them behind...
The French ambassador has already run a mile run, so he won't be run along now.
Just as I feared our idiotic Foreign Minister, (he's the second least popular minister according to a survey published today) is sticking as close to Frederik as possible. - So close in fact that if I were Mary I would wack him with a shovel!
--------------
Frederik's last and longest run today has started.

Well, I don’t know how Frederik feels about turning fifty, but I’m loving it so far!
The Danes seem to feel such affection for their royal family and I love how Frederik and Mary show they feel the same toward their fellow citizens by having events like these that everyone can enjoy.
They must be so proud of their children. The two oldest are so poised and seem natural and at ease wherever they find themselves. Christian, in particular, is very impressive for a boy his age. I also loved how Isabella put her arm around Josephine’s shoulder when she was speaking to the reporter, (and starting to get a little overwhelmed). Lovely, well brought up kids.

An Estonian runner is the first across the finishing line in 19:20.
---------------------------
There is activity behind the balcony doors at QMII's residence at Amalienborg.
--------------------------
QMII is standing on the balcony waving. - Waiting for Frederik to pass in a few minutes.
----------------------
Frederik seems to have ditched the Foreign Minister. - Good, good, very good!
---------------------------
Many of the runners are waving back at QMII.
Frederik is waving with both arms at his mother. He is now halfway through the run.
----------------------
QMII is smiling so broadly the top of her head is in serious danger of falling off!

Here from the finishing line. Frederik should be there in 20-25 minutes.
----------------------
The soldiers who were under Frederik's command, when he was a very young first lieutenant in the Guards Hussars are accompanying him.
A friend of his will play Led Zeppelin for Frederik when he is passing.
-----------------
The music played along the route are tracks from Frederik's own playlist. (Published in the recent portrait book.)

Frederik has finished in 57:00. 
And the legs looked a bit heavy here towards the end.
------------------
He is already being interviewed, without being out of breath. The last 5 km were a bit hard.
He thank all the volunteers and all behind the scenes.
No sign of Mary, presumably she's not back in Copenhagen yet.
--------------------------
That's it.
I'll leave the floor to our newsdiggers.

Looks like so much fun, would definitely have joined if I lived in Denmark!
Did any other member of the family join? Frederik's brother, nephews and cousins?

Thank you!
I wonder why. Perhaps it is so that the focus will be on the Crown Prince and his family, the central characters to the Danish monarchy's future?

The Crown Prince thanks all volunteers
"I would also like to say before we completely round off thanks to the volunteers - both in Copenhagen, but especially in the rest of the country. Thousands thank you for your support, for your mood and today, the atmosphere has just been extremely good," said Crown Prince Frederik after his last race.

This race, and including all of Denmark, was a huge success.
This image sums it up, no matter their abilities all were invited to run with the Crown Prince. Just an excellent idea for his birthday

Yes, sorry I forgot to elaborate. The focus was on Frederik, Mary and their children- Royal Run was an initiative from Frederik to the Danes, to help celebrate his birthday with the people. If Joachim's family were running too, the focus would be on a lot more members of the family, than as you said; "the central characters to the Danish monarchy"

Thanks to Muhler for an comprehensive and interesting coverage!
And thanks to polyesco for all the photos!
--------------------
TV2 sent live from 08:10 to 20:40, not bad. - But really irritating that I didn't had the time to watch more than about 10% of it.

This was the Crown Prince's day, his birthday week.
I really don't think Joachim and his family participating somewhere would have made any difference. The focus would have been on the Crown Prince anyway.
Besides, Joachim=running...??
