TCS Lidingöloppet

This is a longest distance 15 km that I participate in running event. I love everything with this race. The weather was perfect, sunshine 13-18 degree. The route was great, cheerful people along the way. Run & walk, up & down hills in my own pace with the greenery along the way, stop to say hello to a horse and enjoy the sea views. Many thousands ran in the race but I did not feel crowded at all. I filled in my energy at 5 & 11 km and after the finish line enjoy with snacks, warm & cold drinks and a beautiful medal.

not an easy 15 km but worth it.

Amazing Course and support

Beautiful route with mixed trail and some good climbs. It was all well organized, from traveling to the check-in area and all the way to bag pickup and showers at the end. During the race, there are a lot of events and music which really cheers you up. Water and energy checkpoints every ~5k which is a good interval. Lots of people running which may feel a bit crowded at certain sections, but it also helps for your motivation during the whole race. I can really recommend this race, it was a great experience for me and I will probably do it again next year.

The route is mostly wider trails. I went with my everyday street shoes and it was all fine. There are some great climbs, especially towards the last 10-15k.
