Gothenburg Half Marathon
The Gothenburg Half Marathon is not only the world's largest half marathon but also a great festival that you just don't want to miss. The race started in 1980 with 1,800 participants, and since then, it has grown significantly. Nowadays, approximately 60,000 happy runners participate each year and complete the 21 kilometers in Gothenburg.
The race starts in Slottskogen, and the course takes the runners through the charming Majorna. Then it continues over to Eriksberg and Lindholmen via Älvsborgsbron, with a beautiful stretch along the water, and then via Frihamnen towards Hisingsbron, which leads back to the city center. There, you climb up Avenyn and then via Linné back to the finish line in Slottsskogen. During the race, there are lots of people along the way cheering on all the runners until the finish line. It's a perfect way to discover and enjoy Gothenburg!
For those who think 21 km is a bit too long, there are alternative races like the Trail Race (11.5 km), Relay Race (5 runners x 4.2 km), Special Race (2.1 km or 3.3 km), and City Race (4.3 km), which offer shorter distances.
There really is something for everyone; even the youngest runners can join in. The Little Race is adapted for them. Children between 7-10 years old run 1.3 km, and those between 11-13 run 2.4 km. For the very youngest between 0-6 years old, there's the Mini Race, a 250-meter stretch in Slottsskogen.
Bring your loved ones, check in with us at Hotel Riverton, and enjoy both a festival and a delightful hotel stay!
