Morning

Leave Aarhus around 09:15 via Route 15 toward Hornslet; the drive usually takes about 25–35 minutes, but allow extra time for event traffic, parking, check-in, and changing. Follow the obstacle-course event’s parking instructions rather than relying on town-centre parking. Give yourself a calm warm-up window before starting, then allow roughly 2–2½ hours for the race, recovery, and a change of clothes. Bring water, a towel, and shoes suitable for muddy conditions.

Late Morning: Rosenholm Slot

After the event, drive south from Hornslet to Rosenholm Slot, a short countryside hop of approximately 10 minutes. Spend 45–60 minutes appreciating the Renaissance manor, its moat, and the landscaped surroundings; access to the interior and gardens can vary by date, so check the official opening arrangements before setting out. Even if the buildings are closed, the rural setting makes this a worthwhile brief stop—keep the visit focused, as you have a lunch stop planned back in Aarhus.

Lunch and Return to Aarhus

Continue back toward Aarhus and stop at Café Faust in the city centre for a relaxed late lunch or coffee, allowing around 45 minutes and budgeting approximately DKK 100–200 per person. It is a convenient place to regroup after the event, though city-centre parking can be slow; use a nearby paid car park and walk rather than trying to park directly outside. Plan to leave Aarhus again around 13:30–14:00 via Route 15 toward Hornslet, allowing 25–35 minutes and checking the event-specific parking instructions before your final arrival.
