Tidaholm Marathon

Tidaholm Marathon

Six laps of a certified 7,012.5-metre course, with the start placed 120 metres before the finish line so that the total comes out at exactly 42,195 metres. The lap follows cycle paths and streets through Tidaholm with shorter gravel stretches through two parks, and the roads stay open, so expect pedestrians and cyclists. 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.

The marathon has age classes for women and men from 35 to 85 plus open motion classes, and competition classes need membership in a club under Svenska Friidrottsförbundet. The race is also the Västsvenska Friidrottsförbundet district championship and part of Västsvenska Löparcupen. Bibs are collected at the hall at least 30 minutes before the start, and late entry on site may be possible.

This page covers the 2026 marathon. On Livebib the family follows the runner lap by lap on the course line, with distance covered and a finish estimate that updates as the race goes, so whoever is waiting at the hall knows when to step outside. If the phone loses its signal, the position is carried forward along the lap and marked as estimated, never shown as measured.
