How to keep your phone charged at DHL Stafetten 2026
DHL Stafetten fills Faelledparken on 24-28 August 2026, and the Volt Charging Service keeps your phone running with staffed Volt-Charger swaps you can prebook on the DHL 2026 presale page.
The short answer: rent a Volt-Charger. The Volt Charging Service runs a staffed Volt booth at DHL Stafetten, and swapping a powerbank there is faster than hunting for a free socket in a park full of runners. Here is how it works, how to prebook before race week, and why a swap beats a wall plug every time.
A long evening for you, a longer one for your phone
DHL Stafetten takes over Fælledparken from 24 to 28 August 2026, with the relay starting from 18:00 and the walk from 18:30. Teams are five people passing one baton, according to the official practical information. And it is big: in 2025 the week drew 160,000 participants across 32,000 teams.
Now think about what your phone does that evening. Group chats to find your company tent. Photos of colleagues in matching shirts. Checking start times and results between legs. Then the trip home, where the organiser recommends bike or metro, ideally with a travel app that still turns on.
Screen on, camera out, hours away from any charger you own. Most batteries do not survive that unassisted.
The Volt Charging Service: swap, don't search
The Volt Charging Service is the staffed way to stay charged. You rent a Volt-Charger, a powerbank that stays in your pocket all evening, and once a day you can swap it for a fresh one at the Volt booth. No cable roulette, no guarding a socket, no standing still while your battery creeps upward one percent at a time.
Because the booth is staffed, a real person hands you the swap and answers your questions on the spot. That is the whole idea: a festival goer should be at the changeover zone cheering, not babysitting a phone by a wall.
One more thing worth knowing: if you still have a Volt-Charger at home from an earlier year, bring it along and you skip the deposit.
How it works on the day
- Prebook on the DHL 2026 presale page, or walk up to the Volt booth on the evening.
- Pick up your Volt-Charger and plug in. It charges your phone while you warm up, run, or hold a hot dog.
- Running low again? Swap it for a fresh Volt-Charger at the booth, once a day.
- Hand it back before you head home, phone full for the ride.
Why a powerbank swap beats hunting sockets
Fælledparken is a park. It does grass, trees and 5 km loops very well. Rows of free wall sockets, less so.
Even if you find a socket, it holds you hostage. Your phone charges at the speed the plug allows, in one fixed spot, usually nowhere near your team, right around the time your leg of the relay comes up. Leave the phone there and you are the colleague who missed the baton and the team photo.
A swap flips the whole equation. You hand in the empty powerbank and walk away with a full one in seconds. The charging happens on the move: in the crowd at the start line, in the food queue, in the tent while someone gives a speech about quarterly targets. Your phone is never out of your hands and never out of battery.
Prebook before race week
Prebooking for DHL Stafetten runs through the DHL 2026 presale page on getvolt.dk. Sorting it before race week means one less queue and one less decision on an evening that is already full of them. The lineup on the page can grow in the run-up to the event, so check what is live before you pack, and if something is not listed yet, the staffed Volt booth has you covered on the day.
While you are at it: drop the bag too
Volt also runs Event Lockers at DHL Stafetten, placed at both main entrances, Øster Allé and Frederik V's Vej. Each locker is 30 x 30 x 50 cm, enough for a backpack, jacket, laptop and valuables, and you can open and close it as often as you like during the rental period at no extra cost. Book online and your locker number and personal access code appear right after purchase and arrive by email and SMS. Even the official DHL Stafetten FAQ points to a Volt locker as the way to keep your belongings safe during the relay.
Charged phone plus empty hands is the best possible setup for an evening that involves running, eating and hugging sweaty colleagues.
Before you go
Details like start waves and entrances can shift, so give the official practical information page a quick look closer to your race day. The main entrance is on Øster Allé, opposite Parken.
