We get two laps through central Stockholm, including Gamla Stan and Södermalm, before finishing on the track inside the 1912 Olympic Stadium. Entry is open rather than a lottery and currently works out near $160, though the SEK conversion moves. The honest catch is the Saturday start in late May: 2018 reached roughly 30 degrees, and the Old Town cobbles punish tired feet. Total climbing is about 208 meters.

Why we'd pick it
- 208 m of climbing: rolling, not pancake-flat.
- Open registration — no lottery to lose.
- A non-racing partner gets a real weekend here — 4/5.
- Race day usually sits 6–16°C, about 25% chance of rain.
The course
Two laps starting beside the 1912 Olympic Stadium and looping through central Stockholm — Östermalm, Gamla Stan, Kungsholmen and Södermalm — before a three-quarter lap on the Stadium track to the line. Elevation is modest, about 208 meters total over the race, but the bridges and the Katarinavägen and Västerbron climbs come early on each loop, and the cobbles through the medieval Old Town are hard on tired feet. The Saturday noon start in late May can turn warm: the 2018 edition reached roughly 30 degrees.
