SLOTTSSKOGEN CITY PARK:THE NON-STADIA VENUE
Welcome to one of Sweden's oldest, largest and most beloved city parks – Slottsskogen. Since 1874, its lush flora and fauna have made it the locals' top pick for a sunny day.
The park is located in the city center and right next to our main stadium. During the championships, it will serve as the venue for the 10K Road Walk, 20K Road Walk, 10K Road Run, Half Marathon, and Cross Country competitions. The park rangers assure us of some spectacular surroundings, and our friendly guardian penguins can't wait to welcome you.
