Sub Rosa Race: Copenhagen/Aarhus, Feb 27-28

Race Format

The SAYSKY Sub Rosa Race is not for the rookies or those afraid to take the altered path. This is a race for the experienced running vets, so please keep this in mind before signing up:

All runners will be dressed in a SAYSKY scrimmage vest, so we can tell who is who and you can see who you'll be running away from.
You'll need to track down a couple of checkpoints in a specific order to complete the city-based course.
The first checkpoint will be provided during the race briefing, shortly before takeoff.
There is no fixed course or path to follow. It's up to you to find the fastest way to the checkpoints through the city.
The distance will be somewhere between 5k - 10k. It depends on the number of checkpoints and how well you can navigate the city.
Once you reach a checkpoint, you'll get a stamp on your hand so we can see that you've been there.
At each checkpoint, you'll be informed about the location of the next checkpoint.
You'll start and finish in the same place (Checkpoint 0).
The first man and woman to return back with all checkpoint stamps wins.
Look for the sign-up details further down.

Please Note

We expect you to locate the checkpoints without the assistance of your smartphones. If you're in doubt, you can always ask around. Our checkpoint staff can also point you in the right direction if you look overly confused.

But don't worry too much - we've only picked well-known locations in the city. If you're still struggling, then we suggest keeping up with someone who knows their way around the block and then beat them on the final stretch.

Signing Up

This is a competitive event that'll challenge your otherwise always coordinated and planned nature as a runner. Here's how to sign up:

Price: 0 DKK
Maximum: 40 runners per event (mix gender)
Apply for Copenhagen, Feb 27
Apply for Aarhus, Feb 28

Applicants will be selected based on their seasonal 5k PBs and not as a first come, first serve basis. We'll send out a participant confirmation/info e-mail a few days before the race with the specific details outlined.

What's in it for you?

You'll have a lot of fun, while battling with the other runners about being the fastest street racer in town. The fastest man and woman will get a gift card for the SAYSKY webshop, plus there'll be free nutrition provided by Vitamin Well and Cliff Bars.

Please arrive ready to roll, but you can leave your personal belongings safely at checkpoint 0.
