Stockholm Marathon IV

One last bunch of photos from the Stockholm Marathon race last Saturday. The first four photos are from Strandvägen where I spotted the hot dog girl and a family waiting for dad, most likely. Then follows three photos from Karlaplan where you could cool down by running through a shower. I think the two blond girls were twins. The last three photo are from Götgatan on Södermalm. After taking that last photo I had to run across the street with the bike, trying my best not to collide with the oncoming runners. I just made it.

Ten street photos from Nybroplan in central Stockholm. Shot during the marathon race. Amazing weather for it. Not too warm for the runners. Stockholm was absolutely packed with people, which is always fun. It was here that I ran into the former PM, btw.

You need a lot of volunteers during a big race like the Stockholm Marathon.Here are a few snaps from one of the water stations. This one was at Stockholms stadshus. Photos during the race, and two just before the race got under way.

I arrived early for the 2023 Stockholm Marathon race on Saturday, so I had time to pick a few places to shoot from. This first bunch of ten photos are from Norr Mälarstrand on Kungsholmen. Close to Stockholm City Hall. The winner was Ashenafi Moges in 2:10.32. Seen here in my first photo. He is the guy in green with start number one.

My last post from the 2022 Stockholm Marathon. I spotted Sweden Guy thanks to all the shouting, he seemed very popular. The message from the Burqa Man is something I would have to agree with. On the third photo, we can see a smiling Anders Hellstrand. I noticed quite a few shirtless runners, and it was a hot Summer day, so I can understand the need for showing how fit you are. I call the guy in the fifth photo Mr. Smooth, as I got the impression that he was trying to chat up that girl with a line like, are you doing anything tonight? And lastly, one of the best Swedish runners on the day. Henrik Skoog. It was a fun day out with the camera watching at least a few of the 15 000 runners. Oh, and if you want to see all my 155 photos from the race press here.
