About the 6 Lakes Marathon
Known locally as 6 sjöar, this Fjällnora-based event offers an English-facing 6 Lakes identity for visiting runners. Transit support and a modest field make it feel more like a regional adventure than a city spectacle.
Course
The marathon circles between six lakes on a combination of road, path and natural surfaces. Rolling countryside, surface changes and limited urban infrastructure reward self-sufficient pacing.
Race-day weather
Mid-August near Uppsala is often mild, but warm sun, rain and cool wind can all arrive. Lakeside and forest sections may feel noticeably different over the course of the day.
