adidas Stockholm Marathon

May 29, 2027Marathon208 m

We get two laps through central Stockholm, including Gamla Stan and Södermalm, before finishing on the track inside the 1912 Olympic Stadium. The May 29, 2027 race is already sold out. The honest course catch is the Saturday start in late May: 2018 reached roughly 30 degrees, and the Old Town cobbles punish tired feet. Total climbing is about 208 meters.

Better info coming — we're still verifying 1 field on this race.

Why we'd pick it

  • 208 m of climbing: rolling, not pancake-flat.
  • The organizer reports the field sold out; direct entry is no longer available.
  • A non-racing partner gets a real weekend here — 4/5.
  • Race day usually sits 8.9–17.4°C, about 32% chance of rain.

The course

Two laps starting beside the 1912 Olympic Stadium and looping through central Stockholm — Östermalm, Gamla Stan, Kungsholmen and Södermalm — before a three-quarter lap on the Stadium track to the line. Elevation is modest, about 208 meters total over the race, but the bridges and the Katarinavägen and Västerbron climbs come early on each loop, and the cobbles through the medieval Old Town are hard on tired feet. The Saturday noon start in late May can turn warm: the 2018 edition reached roughly 30 degrees.
