|
| The course is basically two laps through the central parts of Stockholm. The surroundings vary from the woods of the royal park ”Djurgården” to the streets of a big city.
The course passes buildings such as the Royal Palace, the City Hall, the Royal Opera and the Houses of Parliament. The course is one of the most scenic in the world.
Much of the race is run along beautiful waterfronts. When crossing the ”Västerbron” bridge, the runners will enjoy a fantastic view over a city with buildings ranging in age from the medieval times to the present day. The difference in altitude between the highest and the lowest point of the course is 29 metres. |
