Fun social extraordinary Saturday run
Join us for a trail run/jog/walk!
We are not a typical running club, so please read about the concept in âabout usâ.
How it works: we donât know in advance where the trail will go, but we know it will be fun! A member of the club, the 'hare', sets a trail, usually marked with flour. The rest of us, the 'pack', follows the hare's 'scent', i.e., the marks. There will be a 8-10 km trail for runners with shortcuts down to 5-6 km for walkers and those who need a slower pace. We have no set pace - run/walk as slow or as fast as you'd like. After the run we enjoy some refreshments and socialize.
Come a few minutes before the start so that you can say hi and leave your bag in a designated bag car before we set off at 14:30.
Donât worry if there are few registrations on Meetup. We have existed for 44 years, and a lot of our members (anywhere from 20 to 50 people) just show up.
Four-legged friends are welcome!
We never cancel.
See you there!
CafĂŠ Philo Copenhagen
We meet on Saturdays late mornings to have a casual, meaningful conversation on topics of interest to everyone chosen on the spot by majority voting. So please feel free to propose your own topic!
Everyone is welcome to talk, but if you prefer to just join and listen, that is perfect too.
As the contacted cafĂŠs usually only give reservations to eating guests, it is very welcome if you order something to eat during our stay. This is however not mandatory.
This event is in English.
The exact place can still change.

Cocktails & Collage Night: A Hygge Creative Workshop
Escape the winter chill and immerse yourself in an evening of creativity, conversation, and coziness. Join us for a **Cocktails & Collage** a seasonal gathering that celebrates Danish *hygge* through drinks and imaginative art-making.
Set in a contemporary art gallery turned into a creative studio for the night, youâll begin with a delicious cocktail or a glass of wine and even alcohol-free option will be available.
Once you test our cocktails you can settle into a candlelit workspace stocked with vintage magazines, colorful papers, fabrics, and other tactile treasures. A collage artist will guide the group through a meditative cut-and-paste flow where youâll create a visual piece rooted in seasonal themes like winter coziness, Copenhagen memories, or dream landscapes.
Whether you come with friends or on your own, this cozy and creative evening will leave you inspired, relaxed, and ready for winter.
The bar will keep open for those who want to explore more of our cocktail menu
Note: The event is free but does not include the drinks

Green Paddling đŁđťââď¸ May edition
....aaaaand we are back in the water also this year!!!
Kayaking around the city channels is one of the most enjoyable activities in Copenhagen on a sunny day.
GreenKayak, a NGO dedicated to raise awareness to ocean pollution, makes few (open) kayaks available across the city to paddle and help collecting waste floating in the water.
Open kayaks are typically easier to manovre than other types, and do not require EPP2/EPP3 patents.
I booked 2 double kayaks for 4 ppl in total.
It is possible to use the facilities at Kayak Republic free of charge: restrooms, lockers and showers.
**REQUIREMENT**
\- Safety first \- Need to be able to swim comfortably
\- Waterproof gear preferable
\- Sun lotion and sunglasses
\- Change of clothes in case yours get a bit wet during paddling
\- Towel\, if you want to shower or just in case
**COST**
Unfortunately, due to the frequent last minute cancellation last summer, it was challenging backfilling participants with short or no notice, and it was very disrespectful to the group and GreenKayak NGO.
**To reserve your spot, please transfer 150 kr. to my mobilepay 25717293**. The amount will be returned to you if you show up on time, or the event is cancelled for other reasons; **this remains a free non-profit event**.
The kayak rental is free of charge provided that:
\- we are able to pick\-up some waste during our paddling activity
\- we share our experience on the So\.Me \#GreenKayak
**AGENDA**
11:50- Meet up - please be on time đ
11:50-12:00 Briefing and getting ready
12-00-13:45 Paddling around Copenhagen channels and return to the start point
13:45-14:00 Return the equipment to Kayak Republic
**DISCOMFORT LEVEL** \- 3/5

Let's visit Copenhagen Comics
I haven't yet been to this comic book festival but it could be fun.

You can get signings, participate in workshops, experience interviews, debates and live drawing on stage, explore exhibitions and meet both Danish and international creators.
The festival also includes dedicated areas for cosplay, board games, Artist Alley...."

Let's meet and talk books
Hi everyone! Let's gather and share our reading.
As usual, we will meet at the fourth floor of the Central Library as it has good facilities for book clubs and it is also free to use. No extra cafe money to spend.
Idea is to meet and connect over books. Each participant present 1-2 books they would like to recommend or just talk about, and then we'll see where conversation leads us. Again, there is no limitation to genre or type of book you are reading. The point is that we are free to read whatever we want and then share those reading experiences, so remember to be respectful to each other.
I hope to see as many of you as possible. :)
Extreme: 80 KM - SĂśderĂĽsen in 2 days!
Hey Randoms,
Here we go again! The classic hike through the National Park in Sweden - SĂśderĂĽsen - but with a twist.
We now go hard, and complete it in 2 days, 1 night!
We meet in CPH Central station and ride the train together. The hiking starts once we get off the train in Ă
storp and finish Sunday in HÜÜr. Both towns have decent train connections, and tickets are available from skünetrafiken.se
**The Hike**
There are pretty good water posts along the way. In several cases, the wells are shallow and the water is not safe to drink without filtering or some other type of purification. You need to bring a system for that, or let me know if you need support. Don't expect any food resupply options. Breaks will be short, no cooking. Food intake mostly happens as we walk, not stopping. Cooking is an option in camp, after the hike - as per your individual preference.
We stop for foot maintenance as often as needed - be proactive, do not expect hot spots and blister candidates to go away. It's better to stop and tape it up.
We are not likely to get a shelter. Bring a tent, hammock, tarp or similar.
**Bailing out?**
Bailing out is tricky on this one, and in case you want to bail you need to manage all navigation and logistics yourself - we don't have a support team er pre-planned exit options.
**Randoms Rules Apply**
Also, be aware that this hike is a Randoms hike, so the usual rules apply. This is not an easy hike, and we will get tired. Please be aware that this is a group hike. We hike together, we hike at pace of the slowest hiker. We all need to manage the gap behind us - not the gap in front of us.
Group hike, we stick together, no gaps.
Group hike, we stick together, no gaps.
Group hike, we stick together, no gaps.
This helps us achieve flow. And flow means a better average pace over time.
**Flow**
Try to keep your pack on during very short breaks. E.g. when somebody ties a shoe lace or does a quick change of clothes or socks, or stops for a second to grab something from the pack. When packs drop, it can take quite a while to mobilize the group again, and the breaks tend to add up to a very long day, increasing overall fatigue.
Also, make sure to have your water and snacks available - without having to take off your pack.
This has great impact on flow.
Flow is faster over time. And flow means less fatigue. Less fatigue means a better experience.
Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.
And as usual, you need to come self-supported. As if you were going solo.

Shut Up & Write!⢠Copenhagen
Join us for an hour of writing! Weâve discovered that itâs strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if itâs true for you at our Copenhagen Shut Up & Write! sessions.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, rĂŠsumĂŠ, melody, poem, or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
SCHEDULE:
- 15 minutes of hellos and getting settled; maybe some quick intros.
- Then, the timer starts! : writing for 1 hour.
- After the hour is up... chat / take off / keep writing, if you're on a roll.
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens once the hour of writing is complete. Writing can be very solitary... connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
It's best to be on time, but BEING LATE IS ALSO OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check in with us after the session. (Weâll be the ones with the small Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
What Should I Bring?
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafeâs overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.

**FAQs**
**Our Community Backyards workshops are FREE and a great way to participate in the rebate program. Our workshops are typically 1 to 1 and a half hours long and held in-person. Our workshops cover the same content as the online course, but they are more detailed and allow the chance to ask questions and have discussions with the presenters and other residents. We occassionally have "advanced topics" classes where you dive deeper into one topic of Community Backyards such as invasive vs. native plants or rain gardens.**
**Registration is encouraged but not required.** You can register in advance to receive your voucher at the workshop. If you don't register in advance, that's okay - you can still show up (unless otherwise noted - which is very rare) and sign up for a voucher at the class, and we will send you one via email or mail within a few business days after the workshop.
**"Do I have to be a resident of that community to attend that workshop?"** Nope! Our workshops are open to everyone (unless otherwise noted - which is extremely rare). You can attend a workshop that best suits your schedule even if it is in a different community than your own.
**"Why is registration closed?** Can I just show up?" Yes, you can show up without registering! We close registration typically 1-2 days before the workshop to give the vouchers and materials to the presenters. However, you are always welcome to just show up and fill out a short form to request a voucher at the workshop. If eligible, we will send one to you within 1-2 business days after the workshop.
**Voucher note**: Classes are free for everyone but vouchers are for residents of Franklin county or participating community (list here: https://www.communitybackyards.org/participate)
