The route

Distance: 48 kilometer or 43 with a 500 meter walk.

The route will be either clockwise or counterclockwise. The traffic in the Port of Copenhagen is not taken into account, but the current, wind and waves are. Thus, you need to choose a kayak that suits the conditions of the day. In case of a totally inappropriate forecast, we work with alternative routes.

Skrædderholmen - The Break and safety stop

Skrædderholmen is an island in the middle of the Amager Highway. This is where there is a safety stop and a good place to rest. You reach Skrædderholmen after  20 kilometers (if the race is clockwise) or 25 kilometers (if it is counterclockwise). At Skrædderholmen there will be raisin bread, coconut cakes, water and juice. There is no toilet or water supply. Friends and family can come to the island by bike. You HAVE TO stop at Skrædderholmen to do a safety check-in, but you choose for how long you stay.

Around an island - where to go

You can use the smaller channels in Copenhagen, hold as many breaks as you like, go as far into shore or far out to the sea as you want. The only rule is, you need to paddle around the island and adhere to the general rules of the harbour including one way channels ect.
