Stockholm Marathon
Stockholm Marathon is a rolling marathon in Stockholm, Sweden, held each May or June. Starts outside and finishes inside the 1912 Olympic Stadium, touring Gamla Stan, Djurgården and Södermalm, with the climb over Västerbron the stiffest test. A midday start in late spring, typically around 12 to 20°C. With Stockholm Marathon's constant undulation, pace by effort rather than the watch: even effort beats even splits here.
