Apparently there is a rumor going around that I enjoy running and I have no idea how it has started. I have some family in Gothenbrug and at one point he contacted me and pointed out that they have an annual half marathon, and not only that it's among the largest in the world with between 50.000 and 70.000 registered runners every year.
Not much else was necessary for me to be convinced it would be a good idea to go. I'm apparenly easy like that.
17th of May
It's a late start - the first at let go at 1300 and with the high number of runners the last group is sent off at 1600. With my estimated start time around 1:45 I'm assuming I'll in a group starting some time between 1400 and 1500, but only time will tell. The race starts near Slottskogsvallen stadium and finishes inside it. The course takes the runners across the river on Ävlsborgbron followed largely by running along the water northbound before reaching Hisingbron and crossing the river again back to the southern side. Here we will pass Linnéplatsen before skirting along Slottsskogen before finishing in the stadium. With the (potential) number of runners I expect the support to be great for the entire run, but never having run in Sweden before I don't know how they are cheering-wise so that'll be interesting to see.

So another run, but at least I have found one that doesn't require a lot of travel coordination and long travel times.
