Tjejmilen is Sweden's largest race for women, held since 1984; the Stockholm edition takes place in early September and is organised by Marathongruppen. The main distance is 10 km, with the shorter Lilla Tjejmilen for beginners and Minsta Tjejmilen for girls. The course follows green avenues and woodland paths on the island park of Djurgården, by the water and old oaks, free of cars and lined with supporters. The mood is festive and encouraging: friends, mothers and daughters and whole office teams run together, and for many it is their first race ever. Around it, Stockholm offers the Vasa Museum, Skansen, Gamla Stan and waterside fika.
An easy run with a local club the day before the race — the best way to shake out the legs and meet the city.
