Now, how’s this for a great idea for running holiday? Combine a weekend city break with a run in the Stockholm Half Marathon.

The 10th annual Stockholm Half Marathon will be staged on Saturday 11 September 2010. This will be a Jubilee race to remember! It is 21.1 kilometres through central Stockholm. The Stockholm Half Marathon course is both scenic and fast, as it takes you through the central districts of Stockholm; Norrmalm, Vasastan, Kungsholmen, the Old Town and Södermalm.

During the race you will pass many of Stockholm’s most famous landmarks and buildings; Karlberg’s Castle, the City Hall, the Royal Palace, the Swedish Parliament and the Royal Opera House.

In 2010, we’re expecting 12,500 entrants for the Stockholm Half Marathon. It starts a little later than most races at 16.00 on the Saturday afternoon. There is a time limit of 2.45 hours for this half marathon.

So why not join us for the weekend in Stockholm!
