Returning to the international marathon scene after decades, the Malmö Marathon 2025 promises a modern racing experience on a newly designed urban course. The race starts and ends at Ribersborgsstranden and features a flat, officially measured loop through Limhamn, Sibbarp, Ön, Hyllie, and central Malmö—perfect for achieving personal bests. Participants can choose between the 42.195 km marathon or 21.1 km half marathon, both offering chip timing, aid stations, finisher medals, and a supportive atmosphere with sea views and crowd energy throughout. The event is also part of the Malmö Running Festival, celebrating sport, culture, and sustainability. With Malmö’s excellent accessibility and vibrant energy, this autumn race is expected to attract runners from across Scandinavia and beyond.
