About the Göteborgsvarvet
The Göteborgsvarvet Half Marathon, Scandinavia's largest, showcases Sweden's charming second city. The course winds across multiple bridges spanning the Göta River, through historic districts, vibrant neighborhoods, and lush parks. May's pleasant spring conditions provide ideal racing weather as participants navigate a surprisingly hilly urban landscape. Perfectly organized with Swedish efficiency, the race features enthusiastic but appropriately restrained local support creating a uniquely Scandinavian atmosphere. The route balances urban exploration with natural beauty, offering harbor views and forest glimpses that capture Gothenburg's distinctive maritime-meets-woodland character. This race embodies Swedish balance—challenging yet accessible, urban yet natural, organized yet warmly welcoming.
