Held annually since 1979, the adidas Stockholm Marathon returns on 30 May 2026, starting just outside the 1912 Olympic Stadium with two loops through Stockholm’s city center and finishing inside the stadium itself. The course traverses all seven districts—Östermalm, Vasastan, Kungsholmen, Gamla Stan, Djurgården, Södermalm, and Norrmalm—offering iconic views of medieval architecture, waterfront pathways, parks, and royal landmarks. The event features a full marathon expo with packet pickup, pacers for all finish times, live music along the route, refreshment and aid stations, medical support, personalized result tracking, finisher T-shirt, medal, and post-race diploma. Attracting thousands of participants from over 90 countries, it’s more than a race—it’s a festive cultural experience that culminates in a joyful finish inside Sweden’s legendary athletics venue.
