Marathon de Växjö

Marathon de Växjö, held in October in Växjö, Sweden, circles Växjö Lake. The local club Växjö Löparklubb organizes the event, which has taken place annually since 1994. It ranks among Sweden’s larger marathons, noted as the country’s second largest, attracting hundreds of participants. The course consists of eight flat laps around the lake, covering the full 42.195 km. Runners will encounter the same scenery of water, paths, and aid stations multiple times. The surface is primarily asphalt with sections of dirt road. The cool autumn climate contributes to a fast course, with recorded best times of 2:27:59 for men and 2:50:36 for women.
