DHL Stafetten 2026: dates, Event Lockers and charging

DHL Stafetten 2026 takes over Fælledparken in Copenhagen from Monday 24 to Friday 28 August, with the run starting at 18:00 and the walk at 18:30 each evening (official site). Your team picks one of the five evenings, covers a 5K each in the relay or joins the walk (Sparta), then settles in at the tent camp for the rest of the night. Here is the practical stuff worth sorting before you go: how to get there, where your bag lives, and how to keep your phone alive until the last runner is home.

The quick facts

What the evening actually looks like

DHL Stafetten is as much after-work picnic as race. Five runners share one baton, and the real event happens on the grass around the course: colleagues, blankets, food and a very generous definition of warming up.

Team registration covers bib numbers, a baton, timekeeping, a snack box and drink vouchers, plus water in the start and finish area (official practical info). Food beyond the snack box, tents and t-shirts are your team's own job. If your company has booked a tent, every tent is numbered and your contact person gets the tent number by email in the days before the race (participant guide).

Sign-up details and availability shift from year to year, so check the official page for the current status before you plan around anything.

Getting to Fælledparken

The organiser's own advice is to arrive by bike or public transport. The metro stations Trianglen and Vibenshus get you, in their words, right to the door (participant guide). The main entrance is from Øster Allé, directly opposite Parken (practical info).

Cycling works well too, with one catch: bikes are not allowed in and around the tents for fire safety reasons, so use the designated bike parking around the park. There is also a discounted public transport event ticket for the period; the details live on the official participant page.

Event Lockers at DHL Stafetten

Most people come straight from work, which means laptop bags, jackets and a change of clothes in a park with a very large crowd. That is exactly what Event Lockers are for.

Volt runs Event Lockers at both main entrances, Øster Allé and Frederik V's Vej (official participant guide). Each locker is 30 x 30 x 50 cm, and you can open and close it as often as you like for the whole booking period. Running shoes out at 17:45, jacket out at 21:30, no problem.

You can pre-book your Event Locker for DHL Stafetten 2026 now and skip sorting it out on the night. Curious how the lockers work in general? That is all on the Event Lockers service page.

Keeping your phone alive

Between finding your tent number, tracking split times, taking team photos and locating the one colleague who wandered off, your phone works hard at DHL Stafetten. If your locker code lives on your phone too, you really do not want to hit 0% at 21:00.

Volt's answer at events is the Volt Charging Service: a festival goer rents a Volt-Charger, Volt's powerbank, at a staffed Volt booth and swaps it for a fresh one once a day. No waiting around by a wall socket. You can read how it works on the Volt Charging Service page, and everything bookable for DHL Stafetten sits in the DHL 2026 presale collection.
