Stockholm Half Marathon 2027

Up north, it was the chanted coooooroooons... Maybe we went a little too far north! 😅 Welcome to Stockholm, Sweden, for the Adidas Stockholm Half Marathon! 🇸🇪 You’re invited to the capital of 30,000 islands to celebrate the end of your vacation in style: with sport! 💪 Halvmarathon means half marathon in the language of Zlatan ⚽️. That’s the distance you’ll have to cover: 21 winding km 🐍 through the various islands of the beautiful Swedish city 🏝️. Don’t worry, the course is fairly flat: perfect for beating your record! 🥇 What’s more, temperatures are mild at this time of year, unlike what you might think ☀️.

This race will be an opportunity to discover the rich history and curiosities of the Swedish capital 📍. The start and finish alone will leave you speechless: you’ll have the Royal Palace at your feet! 👑 Look up—you might even see King Carl XVI Gustaf applauding you from the balcony! 👏 You’ll also pass through many of the city’s parks (including the king’s 🤴), as well as the many bridges needed to connect the islands that make up what is called the Venice of the North. As a result, you’ll often be close to the water during your route 💧. You’ll also have the chance to go through the old town, a charming medieval heritage 🏰. Stockholm’s most emblematic landmarks will also be on your way.

In fact, the Stockholm Half Marathon follows the first part of the route of the Stockholm Marathon, which takes place in May! 🤗 You’ll encounter various statues 🗽 representing important figures in Swedish history, such as the revolutionary Engelbrekt, or Kings Karl XII and Gustav III. The country’s most important buildings will also be there, such as parliament, Karlberg Palace 🏰, or the Opera! 🎵 And the singing won’t stop in the streets of Stockholm during your event 🎤. 19 entertainment spots are planned throughout your race—almost 1 per kilometer 🤯. As you can see, you won’t have a dip in motivation during this race! 🏃 Far from the formal atmosphere of royal ceremonies, it’s a party during this race 🥳. You’ll find solid, liquid... and even moral refreshments! Many announcers will be positioned at various points along the course to cheer you on 🙌 (in Swedish, but you don’t need to be bilingual to understand the intention 🥰), along with music groups 🥁 and crowds of supporters ready to raise their voices. You’ll feel like the star of the race! 🤩

To keep shining in the streets of Stockholm once your medal is around your neck 🏅, you’ll have plenty of activities to do! 🤪 The island of Djurgarden is a must: Vasa Museum, ABBA Museum, Grona Lund amusement park... 🎢 You could easily spend the whole day on that island alone! 😂 To have dinner after all your adventures, head to the Östermalm Market. There, you’ll find all the country’s culinary specialties and taste your best gravlax salmon! If you’re not a fish lover (it is still the main dish in Sweden 🐠), you can go for one of their many desserts: princess cake, raspberry caves 🍰 or cinnamon rolls... 🤤 You’re in for a treat 😋.

Come on—set aside your preconceptions about the country and come run the Stockholm Half Marathon! 🏃‍♂️
