Some 19 flights were cancelled and more than 300 delayed at Copenhagen Airport on Monday afternoon due to poor weather, the airport’s press service said.

The delays are affecting both arrivals and departures.

The delays have so far lasted up to two hours with more than half over fifteen minutes.

Weather disruptions have affected air traffic throughout the day and are still ongoing, the airport said.

“The wind looks like it is going to continue and delays will therefore continue into the night,” a press officer from the airport told news wire Ritzau.

The outlook for Tuesday’s services at the airport is so far uncertain, they added.

Cars will also be banned from stopping or parking on Frederiksberg Allé, Amaliegade, Toldbodgade, St. Annæ Plads, and Holbergsgade between Nyhavn and Herluf Trolles Gade.

In Fredericiagade between Amaliegade and Bredgade, the stopping and parking ban already applies from Sunday 19 May at 8.00am to Tuesday 21 May at 10am.

The race organisers are recommending that people either come by public transport or cycle to the start area, as no areas have been arranged for parking in the city.

They recommend travelling by metro to Kongens Nytorv or Marmokirken, by harbor ferry to Nyhavn, or by metro or S-train to Østerport, and then walking the rest of the distance.

Those participating in the race are being offered a cheap ticket on public transport, costing 33 kroner for zones 1 to 4 or 66 kroner for unlimited zones, which is valid for 24 hours.

Aarhus

Some 20,000 people will be participating in the run in Aarhus, with quite a significant impact on traffic in the city.

Large parts of the city centre will be closed to car traffic between 10am and 5pm, with the areas immediately around the start and finish line closed from 7am (click on the red areas in the map below to see times when areas are closed to car traffic).

In the guide to traffic issued by the run’s organisers, people travelling into the city by car from the north are advised to park their cars at the Navitas car park, and then get buses 16 or 18 from Nørregade into the city centre.

People travelling in by car from the south and west advised to park at the Jydsk Væddeløpsbane, on Observatorivevejen 2, from where it is a 15 minutes walk to the star area.

Those travelling from the south are also advised to use the car parks next to Aarhus Stadium.
