RACE STRATEGY

The course builds on the classic route — but with a new rhythm and slightly flatter. Vasagatan takes runners straight down toward Gamla Stan, which is now circled on both passes. On Södermalm, the course for the first time cuts straight through vibrant SoFo before turning north again. And on Kungsholmen, a longer, crowd-friendly stretch awaits along Norr Mälarstrand all the way to City Hall. The most demanding sections — Katarinavägen, Hornsgatan/Lundagatan and Västerbron — also come earlier in the race, shaping the race experience already from the midpoint of the marathon. A familiar course, in a new order — with even more city vibes, crowds and character.
