Stina Troest | DANISH ENDURANCE Brand Ambassador

Meet Stina Troest

– Olympic Runner & Proud DANISH ENDURANCE Ambassador

Olympic runner Stina Troest embodies the spirit of DANISH ENDURANCE with her passion for athletics, dedication to performance, and love for high-quality gear.

Since 2017, Stina has been a valued member of the DANISH ENDURANCE family. As a professional athlete, quality and performance matter - and that’s exactly what she finds in our products. Her go-to? The Quarter Pro Running Socks for everyday runs and our Long Distance Running Socks for tough speed sessions and intervals.

Off the track, she’s a fan of our Sustain T-shirt for training and even swears by our Organic Woven Boxers as her cozy, guilty pleasure at home.

This summer, she’s training for the CPH Half Marathon with DANISH ENDURANCE, joining runners of all levels for an unforgettable experience. For Stina, it’s not just about the race - it’s about the community, the joy of movement, and the electric energy of running through the heart of Copenhagen.

What is your athletic background?

I started mini athletics when I was 3 years old. As a child, I tried many different sports like handball, badminton, tennis, swimming, gymnastics, and dance, but it was athletics that truly captured me.

I grew up in a sporty family with two older brothers who played professional football and a younger sister who, like me, did athletics. Throughout my athletics career, I’ve won several medals at youth and junior championships. But my biggest achievements include reaching the semifinals at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, finals at the Indoor European Championships in Belgrade, the European Championships in Amsterdam, and the World Championships in Beijing. I also hold the Danish record for the 1000m.

What’s your story with DANISH ENDURANCE?

I’ve been part of the DANISH ENDURANCE family since 2017, and I’m incredibly grateful for that. I’ve followed their impressive journey for 8 years. I became part of DANISH ENDURANCE because, as a runner, it’s extremely important for me to wear the right socks - functional, comfortable, and with a great fit. Quality is key for me, and that’s exactly what DANISH ENDURANCE delivers with their socks. Right now, I’m testing their new compression socks, and trust me, you’ve got something to look forward to!

What are your favorite DANISH ENDURANCE products?

My favorite DANISH ENDURANCE product is the Quarter Pro Running Socks - they’re always my go-to for a run. They just fit so perfectly. I also run in the Long Distance Running Socks, which come in classic, low-cut, and crew models. They have extra padding in the heel and toe, and arch compression. I use them for speed sessions or interval training on the track.

This summer, one of my favorites is the Sustain T-shirt. It fits well and is super comfortable to run in. Soon, the T-shirt will be available with a crew neck and in new colors—white and olive green. I already love both! A little guilty pleasure of mine is walking around the house in DANISH ENDURANCE Organic Woven Boxers, which I find incredibly comfortable. They’re a must-try—even though they’re technically made for men.

CPH Half Training with DANISH ENDURANCE

Training for the CPH Half Marathon with DANISH ENDURANCE is going to be amazing. Meeting across nationalities in Copenhagen is such a great experience, and coming together around movement has always brought me a lot of joy. What I especially love is that we’re all at different fitness levels, but we can still train together. It’s just like at the CPH Half—everyone is having a blast, whether you run it in 1 hour 20 minutes or in 2 hours.

All in all, the CPH Half is a huge public celebration. You can really feel the special atmosphere in the streets. There are so many people supporting and cheering along the route, and getting to run through the streets of Copenhagen is just the cherry on top.
