European Masters Athletics Championships Stadia

Presented by Aarhus 1900

Led by the motto ‘You Are Never Too Old’, Aarhus will host Europe’s greatest athletics event for master athletes. Around 4,000 contestants from more than 40 countries will visit the city to test their limits at EMACS, competing in all athletics disciplines. It’s a great way to experience the fantastic things Aarhus and Denmark have to offer – especially during the year of European Capital of Culture. During EMACS, everyone can experience the entertaining competitions taking place at the two stadiums, and also join in several cultural side events.

The series finale culminates in the great half marathon, which takes place in the heart of Aarhus. All citizens are invited to compete side-by-side with Europe’s best master athletes in a spectacular race. This international influence will serve as the signature run of the European Capital of Culture Aarhus 2017. EMACS is a competition for athletes, runners and race walkers from the age of 35 and above. The Half Marathon, on the other hand, is open to anyone medically fit and healthy.
