The finish

The finish line will be at Uppsala Castle. We want to create a nice atmosphere after the race where the runners can gather and celebrate their race. The runners are invited to “after run” with a meal and music. A nice ending in a beautiful setting. Friends and acquaintances are also welcome to join the after run and can then buy food and drink from Cajsas Kök. The food we offer is vegetarian, lactose-free, gluten-free and nut-free, so we hope that most people will be full and satisfied! At the finish line, a medal and a finisher’s shirt are distributed to the runners.

Bib number

You can find your bib number under the “start list” tab on our website. You need it when you pick up your starting bib. Bib number must be worn visibly on the chest by all participants in the Uppsala Marathon, half marathon and the relay. You can pick up your bib number before the race, at the Uppsala Art Museum from Tuesday 19 October. Art Museum opening hours: Tuesdays 11–17, Wednesdays 11–17, Thursdays 11–20, Fridays 11–17, Saturdays 11–17 and Sundays 11–17. It is also possible to pick up the bib number on the day of the competition, from 08.00 at the Uppsala Art Museum, which is located in the starting area. Relay teams get a team number, all runners in the team have the same number. In addition, there are numbers 1 to 4 that must be worn by the runners in the following order: The first runner in the relay team must wear number 1, the second number 2, etc. Timekeeping takes place with the help of a data chip that is attached at the top of a tab of the starting bib. The starting bib must be attached to the chest and be fully visible throughout the race. Important for relay participants! Your fellow runner must run through the time portal first and then you start your distance. You who are going to “take over” should not be near the time portal, keep at least 5 meters away, otherwise you will be registered in advance.

Transport

Walk, cycle or take public transport (Stop: Slottsbacken or Blåsenhus bus 2 or 7). There will be no specific event parking.

Bag drop

There will be an opportunity to hand in your bag at the start. It is important that you mark your bag with your name and start number. Uppsala Marathon is not responsible for any valuables.

Water stations

Water stations will be located along the track at approximately every five kilometers. At the stations there will be water, sports drink (Umara), organic bananas and pickles. There will be litter zones for throwing away mugs and bottles at the water stations. Otherwise, it is strictly forbidden to throw rubbish along the course.

Officials

The idea behind the Uppsala Marathon is that we should be able to complete a race without having to shut down a city. Therefore, we plan the race based on the excellent conditions that Uppsala has in the form of good walking and cycling paths, the route is planned accordingly. At the points where the crossings need to be strengthened, we have officials on site. Otherwise, runners mingle with other pedestrians and cyclists. But we have officials who are supposed to keep non-runners at a reasonable distance. It is part of the charm of our race that a walker can stay on the same track as a runner, especially in open air areas. We hope you indulge in it!

Other

A cycling pace group will ride before the first marathon runners, half marathon runners and relays respectively. We really want to thank all the cyclists who help us with this!

Enjoy nature and encourage each other on the track! We really look forward to this day and hope you do the same. Good luck with the training before the race!
