Everything you need to know about Stockholm Marathon this weekend
Stockholm Marathon is set to take place on May 31st. Over 20,000 participants from more than 100 countries will be running through most of the city centre, closing roads and diverting public transport. Here are the details. Advertisement When will transport be affected? According to local transport company SL, bus lines in the city will be affected from around 8am to 8.30pm on Saturday, despite the run not starting until noon. A number of bus routes will be diverted and some stops will not be in use during the day. Where does the route go? Runners will pass through Östermalm, Vasastan, Kungsholmen, Norrmalm, Djurgården, Gamla Stan and Södermalm. You can see a full map of the route on the Stockholm Marathon website. Which bus lines are affected? The following routes will be affected: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 50, 53, 54, 55, 57, 61, 65, 66, 67, 69, 71T, 74, 76, 515, 639, 670, 676, 25B and 25E. Some routes are completely cancelled during the day, while others are split in half or will skip some stops. Make sure to search your journey on prior to travel. Advertisement What about other forms of transport? Metro lines will be running, with extra trains on the red line between 8am-1pm and 3.30pm-9pm. Bear in mind that they may be busier than usual, especially in the morning as participants make their way to the start line. Commuter boats 80 and 84 will be running as usual, with boat route 82 running with extra services between 11.45am and 5pm. There will be no trams running towards Djurgården between 10am and 7pm. Where can I watch the race? There are a number of different areas where you can watch the race as a spectator. The start area is on Lidingövägen and Valhallavägen, and there will be DJ spots along the course (see map). The six countries with the most participants – Sweden, France, the UK, Germany, Finland and Norway will also all have dedicated DJ stations with music from the respective countries. These are in the following locations: Sweden – the intersection of Vallhallavägen/Lidingövägen and the intersection of Strandvägen/Narvavägen France – the intersection of Norrmälarstrand/Kungsholmstorg United Kingdom – Vasabron, Gamla Stan side Germany – Oxenstiernsgatan, near the intersection of Karlavägen Finland – the top of Katarinavägen Norway – Kornhamnstorg If you'd rather watch the finish line, this will be at Stockholm Olympic Stadium (very close to the start line), opening around 12.30, just after all runners have passed the start line. Be aware that there is a ban on large bags at the finish area. The marathon organisers ask that you avoid the Stadion underground station if you're spectating so that this is free for participants. Use the Tekniska Högskolan, Östermalmstorg or Gärdet stations instead. My friend is running. Can I track them? Yes, if they've chosen to activate live tracking. You can do this via the Stockholm Marathon app – more information is available on their website (in English and Swedish) – or directly on their website. You can search by name or start number.
