Race guide

Viby’s lake-loop archive does not confirm a new edition

The club homepage remains active, but its current update date is not the date of a new Viby Marathon. Follow the race-specific event listing and look for a new invitation bearing the intended year. The archive’s description of an annual July race also differs from the late-June date of its latest listed edition.

The historical measured-loop format is useful context for identifying the event, but it does not establish a new course certificate, support limit or start location. If the race returns, obtain the current lap count, start and finish instructions before comparing it with earlier editions or planning a qualifying attempt. Check whether any revised loop still has a valid distance measurement before relying on a finishing time for qualification.

Older participant documents should be read only for their named edition. Do not send an entry payment using historical bank details or arrive at a collection point from a 2019 briefing without confirmation. Check directly with Östansjö SK for current registration, eligibility and refund terms.

The club also publishes other competitions, training and an old Ultra Weekend listing. Dates for those activities do not establish a Viby Marathon return. If you need a fixed-date event for travel or a specific training block, select a currently announced marathon while waiting for this race’s status. For a future loop event, plan how to count laps, access permitted drinks and keep the finish area clear, using the new organizer rules. There is no need to infer permanent cancellation from an old website, but there is equally no basis to promise a supported race next year. Keep the date and race-specific taper pending until the organizer supplies a current full-distance programme.
