Stockholm Marathon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stockholm Marathon is an annual marathon arranged in Stockholm, Sweden since 1979 . In the Stockholm Marathon of 2006 more than 17,000 participants were registered. It's also the Swedish Championship in Marathon. The marathon starts adjacent to the 1912 Olympic Stadium, and involves a double loop around the city, finishing with a three quarter lap of the stadium. The two loops of the city differ slightly from each other, but the majority of the course is the same.
Un-usually, the marathon takes place on a Saturday afternoon in mid summer, the majority of city marathons (London, New York, Paris) take place on Sunday mornings, to minimise disruption to the city.
