adidas Stockholm Half Marathon

The adidas Stockholm Half Marathon presents runners with a single-loop city course that’s ideal for achieving a personal best time. The start and finish line sit between three of Stockholm’s iconic landmarks: the Royal Palace, Parliament House, and the Opera. The route traverses several central districts—Norrmalm, Vasastan, Kungsholmen, the Old Town, and Södermalm—offering dynamic urban running supported by aid stations, pacers, and live crowd energy.

This event delivers both performance and tourism appeal: runners pass landmarks like City Hall and Karlberg Palace as part of a race-tour combo attracting international participants. Post-race, visitors might explore attractions such as Gamla Stan’s medieval alleys, the waterfront promenade, or venture further to attractions on Djurgården island including museums and sea views. The city’s compact layout and public transit make visiting multiple highlights easy—perfect for combining race with travel.
