Race guide

Three lakes and a finish on Munksjöbron

The route takes in lakeside scenery, nature reserves and the city centre before the bridge finish. Use the full-marathon interactive map and profile to identify changes in surface, turns and climbing. An attractive lakeside setting does not by itself prove an entirely flat course.

The listed 10:00 start and six-hour allowance provide a useful initial planning framework. Check the final assembly entrance and any intermediate deadlines, then include likely stops when assessing your finish estimate. Arrange a clear meeting point near the bridge finish that remains accessible during road closures.

The page lists water, Umara sports drink and selected foods among the course provisions. Confirm the final station menu and spacing before deciding what to carry. Rehearse the products you intend to use rather than relying on a race-week substitution simply because it appears in the aid list.

The same organizer offers half-marathon and relay entries alongside the full distance. Make sure the entry confirmation says 42.195 km and check category-specific instructions. Its current registration page permits small group entries and provides a separate larger-group process; review the entry terms before collecting payments or assuming runners can exchange places. The advertised six-hour limit includes the practical interruptions of race day. Before choosing a goal pace, allow for aid stops and any congestion near the early city sections and the final bridge approach.
