The Family Mile with Isabella and the twins will run in ten minutes. They will end at their home at Amailenborg. very practical.

I guess Vincent will dart off, while Isabella and Josephine will run together.

-----------------

The Family Mile starts in Aalborg now. The oldest is 97, the youngest eleven days.

-----

The children are at the starting line.

-------------

Josephine being a little ham as always. While Vincent observes as he always do.
The children are each being escorted by what I guess are officers cadets.
Vincent's clock is being checked - he is ready!

-----------

Josephine is dancing with her running mate, whom she seems to have a good rapport.

-------------

They are running with a major from the Royal Lifeguard Regiment. The Guards battalion to be exact. He is someone with whom Josephine is very comfortable with.

-------------

Go!
Isabella stuck her fingers in her ears, before the shot was fired.

-----------

They are joined by 4.000 other runners.

--------------

Vincent has crossed the finishing line.

--------------

A blown Josephine has finished the run.
Isabella is coming in and finished.
The twins outran big-sis.

--------------

Posing, so photos coming up. Probably no interview. - At least not now. And that's probably wise, as their parents aren't present.

--------------

Frederik finished his first run in 7:10.

---------------

In Odense Frederik will say hello to the oldest runner, 97 year old Yrsa, who has signed up for the 5 km run!

Mary should arrive in Aalborg any moment now.

Thanks for posting the articles.
Great to see the children running again this year, they must miss Christian being there with and for them. The twins are so happy and sweet.
 
Mary has arrived in Aalborg, geared up and ready.

-------------

14.300 have signed on in Aalborg. Mary will run along with 5.000 people for the 5 km run.
But first a communal warming up.

------------------

Mary at the starting line. Can't spot any PET officers near her. - Correction there is one, trying not look like a PET officer.
Selfies with Mary.
Warm up.

-----------

Close behind Mary are some 100 residents of communal homes for mentally handicapped.
Go!

-------------

A charming photo of Isabella giving it all: https://images.scribblelive.com/2021/9/12/96fdc8f2-6b56-4917-a8da-a9653e92fdd0.jpg

--------------

Mary has finished her run. 27 minutes. - Being interviewed. Hardly out of breath. She's visibly and genuinely delighted.

-------------

Frederik has arrived in Odense. - And I'm going to take a break.
Thanks not least to Izzie for her first royal live event as a newsdigger here on TRF.

A nice surprise indeed.

BB writes that Felix' girlfriend also cheered on from the side.
And that the two of them left after the run.
Felix has a an apartment at Amalienborg.

Daily Mail:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/...ons-trainers-takes-5km-Royal-Run-Aalborg.html

-----------------

The 10 km run starts in 20 minutes.

They have a segment with an American exchange student, from Florida, who was surprised with in invitation to run the 10 km run with her host family when she arrived a few days ago. :D
Apparently she had written in her letter describing herself, that she likes to run. - That'll teach her. ?

Frederik will start the 10 km run for the serious runners in a few minutes. Then he will run himself.
He has just said that he is not in pain this time.

You may recall that he was in pain at the first run, could not run along at the second run, but this time there are no problems.

------------------

It appears people have misunderstood things. The fast runners have been send off, but the rest who were supposed to start with Frederik in a few minutes, have also started to run, so he has to join in it some point.
Ah, the officials have stopped the stampede and now we can have a proper start for the rest of the runners.

---------------

Go!

-----------

Mary and children are standing outside Amalienborg to cheer people on.

--------------

The first completed the run in 27 or so minutes.

---------

The first woman completed in some 35 minutes.

----------

Mary and Bella are waiting at the finishing line for dad, who finish now.
He was received by his family and the time was checked. good time! 48:51.

-------------

Frederik is going to celebrate with his family in the couch - with his legs up.

And that's all, folks.

Josephine right after finishing her run. To quote her from the last time: "It was hard!!"
:lol:

It's official.

There will be a Royal Run next year.

The towns have not been selected.
But it's turned out to be something the towns are happy to host, because it's a pretty cheap event that creates a lot of goodwill and a lot of focus on the towns - and the city council members...

The CP family is standing outside cheering the runners.

There was some concern camera wise, because this Royal Run is held much later in the year with the last run finishing as the sun is going down. But the footage has been beautiful. It helps of course that the weather is so good.

----------------

60 % of those taking part were women, 40 % men, normally it's the other way around at such events. But this is more family oriented and very much a communal event not to mention the royal aspect. So it's speculated that this attracts women in particular, and especially women who would otherwise not sign up for a run.
Another factor is that all routes can be walked and that it doesn't end before that last has passed the finishing line.
So if it takes you 2½ hour to finish, you will still be received at the finishing line.

-----------

The distances of one mile, 5 km and 10 km, means that they can be used by athletes. I.e. the times can be official.

What an event! Definitely needs an own thread. I'm glad it's now a yearly highlight. Not only for the crown prince family but for the community. What a joy to see young and old, people of all capabilities, participate.

Understandable that Christian did not participate if it wasnt a weekend out, Vincent took up the challenge of two races wow! Glad to see Felix a lovely suprise. Josephine might not be the biggest fan of running but her effort is appreciated.
What fine form Mary is in! And Frederik, besides in uniform, is at his best!

Thank you Izzie and Muhler for the live commentary and links. Too many cute photos!

It's a very result-oriented family. I heard them discuss Frederik's time as one of the first things when he finished the last run. Couldn't make out the details though.
Wellll, perhaps with the exception of Josephine, the royal cheerleader.
If you didn't watch the video of her dancing at the starting line, I suggest you do. ?
Her brother, Vincent, was much more focused.

Frederik said something about Vincent being fond of running, because it's something you can measure/time.

I also noticed that when the children had finished their run and were to pose with their medals, Josephine was goofing, so Bella yanked her in. Heel Josephine, we are posing!

Another thing is that we often see Frederik stepping back allowing Mary to get a lot of focus when they are at an event together. At this event Mary stepped back and allowed Frederik to shine.
 
:previous: I believe when a reporter mentioned how well Vincent had done today, Frederik mentioned how Vincent has recently got a GPS running watch which has further spiked his interest in running.

Thanks Izzie. Lovely photo of Mary and Frederik.Love the support the family give each other on the many videos.

Thanks everyone for the running commentary and spectacular photographs. Very much appreciated. Josephine’s dancing was hilarious but she has obviously got rythem.

There are quite a few videos on YouTube by now.

Thanks Polyesco!

He was so happy yesterday and she could not have looked prouder of him! This photo in particular is amazing: https://billedbladet-prod.imgix.net...op=focalpoint&auto=format&ixlib=imgixjs-3.4.0

Thanks for the video Muhler....what an amazing day yesterday was! What started out as a way to include everyone in celebrating Frederik's 50th birthday has grown into a national event of community, family, fun, health...it truly is incredible. I saw one quote that said that the fact this has become what it has is a testament to Frederik and his popularity and the love and regard the public has for him.

Article summarizing the day from Royal Central - https://royalcentral.co.uk/europe/d...y-family-takes-part-in-2021-royal-run-165558/
Quote from article: "The 2021 edition of the Royal Run was one of the largest races in Danish history, and the massive participation from both the public and members of the Crown Princely Family assures that it will continue to go on for years into the future."

Article on Josephine's dance moves.... https://www.billedbladet.dk/kongeli...ed-speciel-dans-josephine-satte-gang-i-nyhavn

Yep. :lol: Everything with Josephine is in performance mode, also when she had completed the run:
https://www.billedbladet.dk/kongeli...isabella-passer-godt-paa-josephine-og-vincent
Notice how Isabella rein in her younger sister, when it's time for posing. She wasn't even looking, - routine, I wonder?

Isabella was quite the performer as well, when she was little, but now she's the sensible older sister.
Vincent is easier to control - except that he has a tendency to tell the naked truth. :D
 
Nothing is hidden, he simply says the full truth.

Like during their message to the public during the lockdown. Vincent's siblings told about the things they did, in a positive manner. Vincent simply stated that he thought home-schooling was boring.
Which no doubt was true, but not entirely in line with the "cheer-up-message" that the family tried to convey.

And when the children talked about their dad at the gala for Frederik's 50th birthday, it was Vincent who said Mary would get crossed if they didn't conform to the family-rules. - Christian tried to smooth things out - it's not like that, but Vincent was adamant, mother gets crossed.
- And of course Mary gets crossed from time to time, that's pretty much in her job description as a mother.
Vincent just said it out loud.

In the portrait book, Mary says: “If you ask often enough, he sometimes gives in and don’t stick to what we have agreed on. Then it’s always me who for example has to say: Hey, we said no iPads after whatever-clock!
I can come into the living room late in the evening and then they all sit there with their screens in the couch around dad. Very cozy, but what about the principles? In that way Frederik is more relaxed and then I end up being the strict one. That’s a little irritating...

And the security officers must make sure they are pretty fit at all times to keep up with this family.

I was watching the video that starts with the CP getting ready to run and and then a couple of guys joined him who I am assuming were his security guys. And I remember thinking how much one must be really really fit it if you are on the CP’s security detail. [emoji16]
