Crown Prince Frederik's 50th Birthday Celebrations: May 2018

[JessRulz]

Fiftieth Birthday Celebrations of
Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark



May 26, 2018

**

[Muhler]

On this day next year, Frederik will turn 50 and to celebrate that Frederik is inviting the Danes (and visitors I guess) to a run in the five largest cities in DK. A Royal Run taking place 21st May 2018.
The runs will take place on the same day, because Frederik intends to run one mile in each city, except for Copenhagen where he will run 10 km. I.e altogether some 16 km.
The aim is to encourage beginners as well as more experienced runners to take part - simply for fun.

The routes have different lengths depending on your experience.

Crown Prince Frederik, today's birthday boy, turns 50 next year, and he is asking for help for a very special challange next year.
To celebrate his 50th birthday, a Royal Run will take place on 21 May 2018 in the cities of Aalborg, Aarhus, Esbjerg, Odense and Copenhagen.
He is asking for people to join him at least in two races

I hope some of his royal colleagues will also come and run.

Given that a special logo has been released (already now) might indicate quite a celebration for the birthday next year.

This is a very good idea, because Frederik is a keen runner. Probably I would also come and run. Just for fun.

more information
Royal Run | Kongehuset
"The Crown Prince begins the day in Aalborg by running One Mile, then the Crown Prince goes to Aarhus, Esbjerg and Odense, and also wants to run one mile. The Crown Prince ends the day in Copenhagen and Frederiksberg, running 10 kilometers through the city."
In connection with the announcement of Royal Run, the Crown Prince says: "When I'm 50 years old, I'll celebrate the day with a race where all of Denmark can join. I've always loved a lot of sports and physical activity, and not least running. It brings joy, well-being and energy. Run must be a race aimed at the experienced runners, but equally to those who tie the running shoes for the first time and everyone is welcome regardless of age. I hope that a lot of people will join the Royal Run for next Years when we have to run together through five of Denmark's beautiful cities."

"Behind Royal Run is DIF, DGI and the Danish Athletics Federation. Royal Run is organized by Moving for Life - Denmark's largest sport vision, supported by Nordea Fund and TrygFonden. TV 2 is a media partner at Royal Run."

Another video was shared of Frederik speaking on exercising with his kids

Its a great publicity! Don't mind to run with him!

[HereditaryPrincess]

That sounds like a great idea - I watched Frederik's message on YouTube earlier.
Also; a belated happy birthday to him. I hope he had a nice day.

[Duke of Marmalade]

Fab idea, these days you need to do something that involves the public (WA invited people who shared his birthday and did a selfie) and this is a perfect choice for Frederik.
After that, he can have as many private parties behind closed doors as he wants but I am sure we get pictures anyway

[dazzling]

Thats such a great idea and great that the Danes can join him. Great way to celebrate your birthday with what you like doing and with locals.

What a fantastic idea and a very good initiative by Crown Prince Frederik

This has been shared and praised everywhere on Facebook and Instagram and media and is already a huge hit. I dare to say that there will be empty in the Danish homes that day. They will be out running or cheering in the Danish streets.

Frederik wishes a folksy birthday! And that's exactly why Frederik & Mary are as popular as they are. Their round birthdays should not only be celebrated by the upper class and artists, they will celebrate it with the people and among the people.

I do not need to write that Frederik is unbelievably loved, popular and respected. This shows ALL the 1000 of comments he got with his greetings and news about the Royal Run 2017.
If you have time, you should read the comments .... Even the most anti-royal likes Frederik and Mary and their way of doing things.

ADDED:
This will undoubtedly be a popular thing ! In the new little TV2 interview in preparation for his 50th birthday Frederik says he plans to take Mary and all 4 children, Christian, Isabella, Vincent and Josephine out and running with him in Denmark's streets at The Royal Run 2017

- I would like to put them up in a line up and hear them if there is no need for assistance to me? It will be good for them all to run the little route, he says, adding that his wife Crown Princess Mary also will be offered to run.
However, he estimates with a little smile, that it would be best to get the children along first so they can put the maximum pressure on their mother

Some groups are getting ready for the royal birthday run by getting in shape and joining the race

Now there's a man who knows his wife! Somehow I think Mary is more the "sweat and gasp" in a private gym type than a gasp and drip running in public kind of Crown Princess. Frederik is unrepentantly winding her up, but hey, it's his birthday . . . .

Mary does run in public quite often actually and has also been photographed doing it both in Copenhagen and at Fredensborg. She seems to be quite fit so I don't think there's a need for the gasp.

a new book in connection with his 50th birthday
https://www.saxo.com/dk/under-bjaelk..._9788702214369
"Below the bar - a portrait of Crown Prince Frederik is an unusual book about an unusual person in an unusual life situation. It is based on talks and journeys with Denmark's coming king for a year and a half, and a series of interviews with his wife, brother, parents, private circle, former chief of law, and Crown Prince Haakon of Norway and Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden. The book goes close to Crown Prince Frederiks Willing struggle to relate to his destiny and role depicts his many manifestations with himself and his surroundings and follows the personal journey from rebel boy child and shy young man to a fendolian frantic and happy father to four"

a very nice picture
