The Lowdown
Växjö Marathon is run by Växjö Löparklubb as part of RunVXO. The course is eight laps of about 5.3 km around Lake Växjösjön on mostly asphalt with roughly 300 metres of gravel, and it is flat enough to be called one of the fastest marathons in Sweden. A four-person relay covers the same distance in two laps per runner, and a 600 m kids race is new for 2026. The marathon starts at 11:00 and finishers within 6 hours receive a medal.
