Look ahead to autumn in Stockholm

Thousands of runners from all over the world will compete against each other and we hope you will join us! The start and finish close to the Royal Palace, Parliament building and the Opera House is really special. And it’s a wonderful feeling to run through the central parts of the city.

The average temperature in Stockholm in the afternoon in mid September is 15°C (approx. 60F). The humidity is about 50 percent.

The Stockholm Half Marathon is run on an inspiring course through the central districts of the Swedish capital. During the race you will pass many of Stockholm’s most famous landmarks and buildings: Karlberg’s Castle, the City Hall, the Royal Palace, the Swedish Parliament, the Old Town and the Royal Opera House.

The difference between the highest and the lowest point of the course is 27 metres. The distance is 21,098 metres.

Welcome to Stockholm and one of the world’s most beautiful capitals. Built on 14 islands around one of Europe’s largest and best-preserved mediaeval city centres, the Swedish capital is superbly positioned, with stunning and extremely varied scenery in every direction.

Just outside the city, the archipelago of 24,000 islands is waiting to be explored.

Stockholm is a city of contrasts – water and islands, history and innovation, small town and big city, long light summer nights and short winter days.

Thanks to the city´s compact size, you can see and do most things in a short space of time – which makes it a perfect destination for city breaks or longer stays.

Stockholm is one third water, one third green belt and one third city. The island of ”Djurgården”, the world’s first National City Park, is only a short walk from the inner city.
