adidas Premiärmilen is a spring 10 km in Stockholm from Marathongruppen with the clubs Hässelby SK and Spårvägens FK, and as the name suggests it opens the season (a Swedish 'mil' is 10 km). It is a single lap of Norra Djurgården, part of the Royal National City Park, on asphalt, gravel, a few paving slabs and even a wooden bridge, with a rolling profile of about 117 m of climbing on car-free paths. Pacers run on course and every finisher gets a medal, making it a great test of winter training. Norra Djurgården means woods, meadows and the shores of Brunnsviken, and central Stockholm with Gamla Stan and its museums is minutes away.
An easy run with a local club the day before the race — the best way to shake out the legs and meet the city.
