At the 2009 Stockholm Marathon more than 18,500 participants (14,442 men and 4,385 women) were registered.

[citation needed] The marathon is categorized as a Bronze Label Road Race by World Athletics.

It is held on a Saturday afternoon, thus distinguishing it from the majority of city marathons (London, New York, Paris) which take place on Sunday mornings, to minimise disruption to the city.

This leads to a risk in some editions being held in considerable heat, and indeed has been, as with the 2018 marathon where temperatures reached around 30 °C (86 °F) in certain areas.
