About this race
Stockholm's marathon in early June is one of the most visually unique on the European circuit. The course takes runners across the city's famous islands — Djurgården, Södermalm, and Gamla Stan (the medieval old town with its narrow cobblestone streets) — via multiple bridge crossings over the Baltic waterways that dissect Stockholm's archipelago geography. The finish inside the Olympic Stadium (built for the 1912 Games) is one of running's great moments. June in Stockholm means near-endless daylight, with the sun not setting until nearly 10pm, and temperatures in the 15–22°C range — warm but manageable. The course has genuine hills and bridge inclines that make it a challenging rather than fast race, but the backdrop is extraordinary. A bucket-list destination event.

Who this race suits
Runners who want a scenic summer marathon and an Olympic-history finish. The June timing and two-lap course make it more experience than guaranteed PB.
A fair course (~75 m) but June can be warm, with cobbled sections and gentle climbs — not a banker PB. The finish inside the 1912 Olympic Stadium is the payoff.
