Transport & Parking
The start and finish at the castle is about 1 km from the centre of Uppsala. Walk, cycle or take public transport (Bus station: Slottsbacken or Blåsenhus bus 2 and 7). There are car parks within walking distance of the start and finish area.
Bag drop
We offer the possibility to hand in your bag at the event area by the castle. It is important that you label your bag with your race number. There is a strip on your race bib that you should tear off and attach to your bag.
Changing rooms and showers
Changing facilities are available in the event area, near the bag drop and toilets. Showers are available at Campus1477 (Blåsenhus), approximately 700 metres from Uppsala Castle and about an 8–12-minute walk from the finish area.
Starting Times
The marathon and relay starts at 9:30 AM. The half marathon starts at 11:30 AM. The starting area is clearly signposted and located right by the castle on the hill down towards Carolina Rediviva.
Your time starts when you cross the starting line, as we use individual chip timing.
If you’re not in a hurry at the start, please position yourself a little farther back. The starting area is divided according to estimated finishing times. By joining the start group that matches your target time, you’ll have a pace better suited to you while helping create a calmer and safer start for everyone.
Pacers
In the marathon we offer pacers for three target times, they are 3:00h, 3:30h and 4:00h. The pacesetters will be ready at the starting line with a flag on their back indicating their pace.
Hydration stations
Aid stations are located approximately every 5 km, offering Umara sports drink and water. Several stations also provide snacks, including pickles, bananas and mini muffins.
