The Copenhagen 3-days track cycling event, organized by the Danish Cycling Union (DBC), is a shorter version of the traditional “Six Day” track races. Although the “Six Day” events were historically longer, modern versions have been shortened to two or three days to adapt to the contemporary cycling season. The Copenhagen event is held at the Ballerup Super Arena and has regularly featured on the UCI cycling calendar.
History of the Copenhagen 3-days track cycling
Six Days of Copenhagen
- Origin: The tradition of professional track cycling races in Copenhagen dates back to the “Six Days of Copenhagen,” which was first held in 1934.
- Modernization: Over time, these events, like others in the Six Day Series, adapted to the modern racing calendar. This led to shorter, more condensed events like the 3-days format.
- Venue: Since its opening in 2001, the Ballerup Super Arena has served as the venue for the Six Days of Copenhagen and its successors, including the 3-days event.
Copenhagen 3-days format
- Event Status: The Copenhagen 3-days race has secured a place on the UCI’s track cycling calendar. The 2024 and 2025 editions, for example, were both UCI-sanctioned events.
- Featured Races: Typical races featured during the event include Madison, Scratch, and Elimination races for both elite men and women.
Significance in modern cycling
- Series Expansion: The modern, condensed event is part of a trend to attract new viewers and offer elite-level track cycling competitions during the road cycling offseason.
- Danish Cycling: The event showcases Denmark’s strong cycling culture and its legacy as a premier destination for international cycling races. The nation has hosted numerous major events, including multiple UCI Track Cycling World Championships.
