About the Stockholm Marathon

The Stockholm Marathon is one of the best-known marathons in the Nordic countries and attracts runners from Sweden and abroad. Its course passes through central Stockholm, a city built on islands, with views of the water, the old town and the city's parks. Late May brings long days and mild weather.

Entry for 2027, the course map and race information for runners are on the official Stockholm Marathon website. The organiser also runs other events such as the adidas Premiärmilen and Premiärhalvan.

For travelling runners, Stockholm also offers museums, the Gamla Stan old town and boat trips through the archipelago after the race.

How to get to Stockholm for the Stockholm Marathon

Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN) is the main international airport, with direct flights from across Europe and links to the Middle East, Asia and North America. The Arlanda Express train and commuter trains link the airport with Stockholm Central Station, and airport coaches and taxis are also available.

Bromma Stockholm Airport (BMA), close to the city, handles mainly domestic flights. Stockholm is also reachable by train from Gothenburg, Oslo and Copenhagen.

Where to stay

Norrmalm, around Stockholm Central Station, is convenient for transport and has many hotels. Östermalm and Vasastan are attractive residential areas with good metro links, and Södermalm offers a lively mix of hotels, cafés and restaurants.

Race weekend is busy, so book hotels in Stockholm early and choose an area with easy metro access to the start.

Planning a group trip to the Stockholm Marathon

A group tour to the Stockholm Marathon can be planned as a three- or four-night trip: arrival and race-number pick-up, race day, and a recovery day for sightseeing or an archipelago boat trip. Runners should register through the official site, as places may be limited.

Agencies can also arrange packages for supporters and family members, with a meeting point near the finish area. Late May weather is usually mild, but rain is possible, so pack layers.

Some groups extend the trip to Oslo or Copenhagen by train.

Running clubs travelling from abroad should plan carefully around the race itself: arrive early enough to rest after the flight, collect race numbers in good time, and keep the evening before the race quiet. After the marathon, a relaxed day on a boat to the archipelago or a visit to the Vasa Museum makes a good recovery programme.
