Me ha parecido una buena maratón para correr en Europa. La organización era bastante buena, el recorrido muy variado, pasando por varias islas. Es prácticamente plano aunque hay alguna cuesta por los puentes entre islas. Los avituallamientos son suficientes. Además de los habituales plátanos, etc. también nos dieron pastillas de glucosa o similar y pepinos. La llegada en el estadio olímpico es muy bella. La camiseta que entregan en meta es de buena calidad. Por poner algo a mejorar, no había ningún sitio donde te grabaran el tiempo en la medalla, que suele haber en todas las maratones.

I’ve run Stockholm Marathon from 2021 to 2025 and I have to say that the service is horrible if you are a slow runner. Every year it is always something. Sometimes they run out of water, sometimes they run out of cups, this year they even run out of medals. The race is a good enough race if you are a sub 5:30 marathon runner. Otherwise, stay away.

Everything was really good organized. The only part i disliked is the finish ( it was really full and the exit is a bit small and the exit from the Östermalms IP also was super full too and you had to que to leave the event ). a little bit to warm for me else a wonderful marathon. Great crowd and staff. More then needed water stations and great variety of snacks and gels. Just a little bit harder then the Berlin BMW marathon due slight ups and down in the city Would run again if i get the opportunity

Firstly, I LOVED this race. I've been living in Stockholm for work, so entered the race because it was convenient and relatively cheap. Registration online was simple, plenty of info was sent by email in advance and it was quick and easy to collect your number ahead of the race. The course takes in the best parts of the city, and because it loops back through the centre multiple times, there are spectators lining the whole route and a fantastic festival atmosphere. There are regular aid stations with water/energy drinks and a huge range of other pretty weird things... apple slices, pickles and vegetable stock broth (which is a winner when you're suffering with cramp!) I have a few minor criticisms: Firstly, the event starts at 1200, which is great for a relaxed morning, but not great for running in the heat - Stockholm can actually get very hot, and the buildings/road reflect a lot of heat - which means a lot of runners congregate to run in the few shady areas. Lots of runners were suffering and pulling up with cramp! Also, some of the course gets quite narrow, especially near to a couple of the aid stations and you need to pay attention as runners suddenly stop or move across the road around you. The marshalls do a reasonable job of shepherding spectators across the course, but I did see a couple of collisions between runners and spectators/cyclists/scooters. Without a doubt, the finish in the beautiful Olympic stadium is the highlight, which even made me forgive the fact that the course was 0.3 mile long! It would be nice if bottles of water/snacks were given out when you cross the line - instead you have to move straight out of the stadium (which is a bit disappointing) and its a long-ish walk to meet your supporters and collect your goody bag and finisher t-shirt from the sports field down the road. However, free massages and a festival is a bonus! I would recommend this marathon to everyone. An interesting course, potential for a fast time, with a brilliant atmosphere.

In the run-up to the event, communication was good. Regular emails were sent and as the temperature ramped up, the organisers posted an update detailing how they were preparing.

The expo was well signposted and easy to get to. It wasn't as large as I expected, but I picked up my bib number without issue and also some protein bars for recovery.

On the day, the start was well organised and 20,000 runners started without issue. There were feed/aid stations every 2km including energy drinks, salted pickles, warm veg stock, milk, and Pepsi. Marshals were available throughout the course and there was good local support.

I would definitely recommend it to other runners

I ran this in 2016 as part of a final challenge and my first attempt at running 2 in a week.  Stockholm expo is not really anything there apart from ASIC's as they sponsor it.

The race itself is run on a Saturday and starts at 2 in the afternoon, the course follows almost 2 laps of the city centre, and although am not a fan of laps I really enjoyed this race, lots of fuel stations every 3 km, including amongst other pickled gherkins at mile 14.  As it is mostly around Stockholm it is pretty well supported and as i wasn't bothered about time so just enjoyed it ....although its a bit mre undulating than I would have thought, possibly why I should check the map route a bit closer when signing up for races.  Would definitely recommend this one

A very nice marathon that runs in two laps around the city center in Stockholm. Very nice views around the course. You will pass the Royal Castle, Djurgården, Västerbron amongst other things and of course start and end at Stockholms Stadion. At lot of time close to water. Not the easiest marathon since it goes up and down a bit. There is also the risk of headwind at the long straights by the waterside. Very easy in the beginning so be careful of running too fast there. Not so crowded. Plenty of room to run. When I ran this time I had too few kms in my legs. I had only done generic training and focused on speed and running technique. No long runs at all... I went all in and ran with ease the first 30 K. After that it was mind over matter ;-)
