Tidaholm Halvmarathon

Tidaholm Halvmarathon

Three laps of the same certified 7,012.5-metre course as the marathon, with the start placed 60 metres before the finish line so the total comes out at exactly 21,097 metres. The lap runs on cycle paths and streets through Tidaholm, with shorter gravel stretches through two parks, and the roads are not closed to traffic. Depots with water and sports drink stand after about 3,500 metres and at the finish, so there is a drink twice on every lap.

Because the half starts a quarter of an hour behind the marathon on the same lap, the two fields share the lap for the whole race. The organiser lists open and motion classes for women and men, a maximum time of 6 hours 15 minutes, and a medal and a hamburger for everyone who finishes. Bibs are collected at the hall at least 30 minutes before the start.

This page covers the 2026 half marathon. On Livebib the family sees the runner on the course line lap by lap, with distance covered and a finish estimate that updates as the race goes, so it is easy to tell a half marathon runner on the last lap from a marathon runner on the third. If the phone drops its signal, the position is carried forward and marked as estimated.
