Varberg halvmarathon

About this event

Set along Sweden's scenic west coast, this half marathon and shorter 11.5-kilometre route take runners through Varberg's striking seaside landscape. The course passes near Apelviken, one of northern Europe's most popular surf beaches, offering ocean views that shift with the autumn light. After the race, runners can explore Varberg Castle, wander the town's cosy cafés, or embrace the local tradition of alternating between sauna heat and a bracing sea dip at the historic cold bath house. With train connections from Gothenburg in under an hour, Varberg combines accessible coastal running with genuine Swedish culture and post-race relaxation by the sea.
