Uppsala

Uppsala's cycling scene centres on the flat terrain around the city and Fyris River valley, with the SCF Svenska Mästerskapen Landsväg Tempo (32km) and longer Skandisloppet (200km) drawing serious road racers across the region each year. Runners find the riverside paths and Gamla Uppsala parkrun straightforward, though the real attraction is the short 59km to Stockholm's Stockholm Marathon or heading south into Uppland's rolling forests for trail running. The city sits at sea level but punches above its weight as a Swedish cycling hub, with easy access to Stockholm's urban trail scene and the Uppsala–Stockholm corridor's consistent gravel roads.
