Stockholm Marathon

Noon start, 42.195 kilometres and a finish on the track inside the 1912 Olympic Stadium: Stockholm Marathon is run on Saturday 29 May 2027. The course leaves Ostermalm and takes in Vasastan, Kungsholmen past the City Hall, Gamla stan and the Royal Palace, Djurgarden and Sodermalm, climbing about 183 metres in total.
