Västerås

Västerås sits on Lake Mälaren's western shore where flat terrain and forest roads dominate. The Västerås Marathon runs the lake loop; cyclists have direct access to the Anundsloppet's 83.6km route through Uppland's pine forests and gravel roads, plus the longer Västeråscykeln 125km event that rolls through rolling terrain around Mälaren's basin. Running here means steady effort on predictable ground—the lake provides consistent out-and-back options—while cycling rewards technical handling on gravel and the occasional climb into Västmanland's forested interior.
