The Royal Run: 2019-2024

polyesco · Dec 9, 2021

Exciting as always. The Royal Run has become a highlight on the calendar. Seeing all parts of the community participating is wonderful.

Muhler · Dec 9, 2021

Let's have a look at the places for the Royal Run 2022.

Bornholm, will be a largely uncovered event, unless the CP-family surprise us and dispatch say Christian, running solo there.

Aalborg and Aarhus are pretty certain places at least every second year. Partly because they are two of the five cities in DK with more than 100.000 citizens and because they are located in Jutland.
So no surprise there. To my chagrin Mrs Muhler has threatened to sign me up for a five KM run in Aarhus. - I thought she loved me... :sad:

Næstved is located about an hour from Copenhagen and will cover an area of DK that is not so often blessed with visits by the DRF. The locals will enjoy that.

Kolding will be a big one! Located in the enterprising "Triangle Area" the town is surrounded by other medium sized towns. I predict there will be lots of people signing on there!
And they will no doubt be running past Koldinghus, the medieval castle there, that so often house royal exhibitions these years.

Copenhagen/Frederiksberg is an indication as well. We won't see routes along the canals of Copenhagen this time, but rather through streets and across squares. And we will see the runners run across at least one of the bridges crossing the wide moat that used to protect Copenhagen until well into the 1800's. They will, I predict, run past Rosenborg as well. The home of the Crown Jewels. That pretty much between Amalienborg and Frederiksberg.

The starting numbers for the 5km in Kolding have sold out already.

Muhler · Dec 22, 2021

Guess who has been shanghaied for the 5 km in Aarhus?

Yes, you guessed right. Wife, daughter and in-laws have signed up for the one mile.

Izzie · Jan 13, 2022

Royal Run Instagram posted some fun facts based on the 42,000 entrants to date including that 59% of the people signed up are women and that the oldest person signed up is 99 years old!

Muhler · Feb 9, 2022

No surprise there. Even the last time women constituted the majority. Not least mature women, which is of course great - not least because many of them managed to drag their middle aged husbands with them...

Anyway, it has today been published where M&F will run this year.
Frederik will run in Aalborg, Aarhus and Copenhagen.
While Mary will run in Næstved and Kolding - and will no doubt get an unofficial B-day celebration there as well.

The children are not mentioned, but I should be very surprised if they don't make an appearance somewhere. After all the last time, they ran solo.

I have been shanghaied for the 5km in Aarhus, while the rest of the family have opted for the one mile stroll.
With the exception of our son, the deserter...

polyesco · Feb 9, 2022

Isn't Christian at Næstved ? It would be great if he joined Mary on the run. And Im sure we will see the kids once again. Vincent ran two races last year so I'm sure he is gearing up for it with his watch ; )

Muhler · Feb 9, 2022

Herluftsholm is right outside Næstved, so no excuse for Christian not to cheer on his mother or join in one of the races. - Hop, hop, Christian! ??
By some unfortunate oversight, we don't appear to have a Roadrunner among the emoticons, so this one will have to illustrate Christian on the run.

Crown Prince Frederik visited the production site of the Royal Run medals in Vejen today, March 15, and cut a fine figur behind the sewing machine

"(E)veryone will receive a very special medal around their neck, which His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has helped to select. The medal, which is made of recycled acrylic sheets and is carried in a medal ribbon of recycled plastic from plastic bottles, is thus produced in a new and sustainable way"

Looks as though he is enjoying himself! No doubt a few jokes cracked about him working the sewing machine!

Crown Prince Frederik in 1 visit managed to
(1) promote Royal Run and show off the new medal
(2) put focus on recycling/sustainability (one of his main issues)
(3) highlight a business employing people with mental/social issues (the business/program is getting mentioned in all posts and articles with link to their social media,
(4) Gave a fun moment to capture in photos and video of him doing a little sewing (since he's usually up to give anything a try).
Plus he did it in his usual casual, easy, relatable style. THIS is how a royal visit is done.

Glad to see this getting so much coverage!

polyesco · Mar 15, 2022

Always enjoy these visit to the people behind the scenes.

Agree 100% Izzie
"On Tuesday, Crown Prince Frederik made his way past the workshop Elmegade for the mentally and physically handicapped, where the medals for the Royal Run 2022 will be collected.
...
- After all, he is our future king, so I'm a little proud that he comes down here to our work, says Brian Pedersen, who works at the workshop."

This morning, April 20, Crown Prince Frederik together and the organizers of the Royal Run cycled through the streets of Copenhagen to make "sure that the One mile route in the capital will measure exactly 1,609 kilometers":

What a great joy to have this yearly event.

Blog Real · Jun 5, 2022

90,000 people is a very good number. This event is wonderful.

Muhler · Jun 5, 2022

It is. The numbers just keeps growing.

The weather tomorrow will be just right for those who are running, some 17 degrees C. With showers of rain, and perhaps a good deal of rain for the final run in Copenhagen.

The Muhler family, most of us, is going too. I've been signed up for the 5 km run in Aarhus and my wife, daughter and in-laws will go for the one mile. With my wife and daughter perhaps running. - I'll see that before I believe it.

Anyway, the family should be able to finish their one mile stroll in time to watch Frederik - and me - go for the 5 km run at 14.00.

After that it's hot dog time before heading home for dinner, after which my mother-in-law and I will cover the run in Copenhagen, more or less live here and give a brief eye-witness of what happened in Aarhus, from mine and their perspective.

Looking forward to hearing your account! And good luck to you and family tomorrow!

This has just turned out to be such a wonderful event for the entire community and a day to spend out with friends and family! I'm sure the local vendors don't mind the extra business it brings them too!

Enjoy the commaraderie and trust the muscles don’t hurt too much!! Look forward to reading all about it!

CP Mary oh her way too!!

"I'm sitting in the car on the way to Kolding and it is pouring down �� But luckily you can run in all kinds of weather, so a little rain does not change my enthusiasm for the Royal Run. And especially to run with a group of children from the Christmas brand homes. Royal Run is about being part of and challenging yourself - in all kinds of weather"

Where was Princess Josephine in the medal picture with the other three. Very impressive that Christian turned bac and encouraged Vincent. Lovely gesture.

polyesco · Jun 6, 2022

Muhler, best of luck to you and your family!

What an event! Not only for the Crown Prince family but also for Denmark.
Just too many cute pictures!! Not only of the family but seeing all the participants, the joy! What an experience.

It just wonderful seeing the kids together, Christian, Isabella, Vincent and Josephine. The love and support for each other. Did we mention that Josephine completed the 5k! her second race of the day!
Love Christian using the go-pro, putting in his personal touches.

Mary and Frederik with all the Danes is just a joy!

Muhler · Jun 6, 2022

BT has a good live coverage: https://www.bt.dk/royale/live-kaempe-loebefest-i-hele-danmark-foelg-aarets-royal-run-her

Well, we are back home - and dry again.

Good temperature for running, with a little rain, when I and Frederik ran in Aarhus at 14.00 - Okay my brother-in-law and some thousand more were also running along.
In fact I didn't see Frederik at all.
The rest of the family did see him - and us. They had lined up along the route to watch and got a first class view and a a wave from Frederik. - No doubt because my mother-in-law shouted at the top of her lungs and was flailing her arms like a windmill to get his attention - if I know her well.

I'd say we ran for about half the 5 km distance, the rest we walked.

A while before that the family, minus me, walked the one mile. My wife and daughter actually intended to run at least half the distance but it rained and stuff... so they walked. ?

Great mood. Loads of people around. Not least grandparents with grandchildren. I'll estimate that the wast majority were 30+ and there were lots of women, and it was clear that this event appeal very much to women, which is backed up by the statistics.
No wonder because this is more a family/social event than a sports event. As such people of all shapes and sizes and weight-classes took part.
Some 30 % of those taking part have never taken part in a run before.

After getting our medals, the family united and my mother-in-law updated me on what had happened. The phone never left her hand!
And it was time to get a hot dog before going for a change in our daughter's apartment, before going home.
Here we managed to watch Mary's run on TV. That took place in the town of Næstved - and here the run was a mega-huge event! Everybody was out running or watching.

The relationship between the royal siblings is obviously very warm. Christian is an excellent runner, he is right now running for the third time.
He came in first in the one mile run! Despite running a bit back, to pick up his younger brother.
Josephine ran the 5 km and was hugged warmly by her siblings when she, very red in the head, crossed the finishing line.

That's about the details I've picked up so far.

Oh, I'm told by my sister that her husband and I is in one of the clips on TV's site. - Haven't seen it yet, but it should be easy to spot me: I'm the big dude with the khaki T-shirt.
