Stockholm City Marathon is one of the "not-to-be-missed" races in Northern Europe.
Back in November 1978, an article about NYC Marathon appeared on Sports Illustrated illuminated the mind of a sport journalist, Andres Olsson, who actually put into practice the dream of many of the runners of the time, organizing and inagurating the first edition of Stockholm Marathon on Aug 4 1979, with 2000 participants and a great, unexpected media coverage.
