The story

Tjejmilen in Stockholm

Tjejmilen is a women-and-girls-only cross-country running event held on Djurgarden in Stockholm each August or September. Established in 1984 and run over 10 kilometers, it is hosted jointly by the athletics clubs Hasselby SK and Sparvagens FK, and it regularly draws several thousand participants of all ages and abilities each year.

When Tjejmilen was first run on 19 August 1984, women's distance running in Sweden was still finding its footing as a mass-participation sport rather than a purely elite pursuit.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

The place changes

Since its first edition on 19 August 1984, Tjejmilen has built a winners' list that reads like a survey of Nordic distance running: Evy Palm won six of the race's first ten editions, Norwegian stars Grete Waitz and Grete Kirkeberg each took titles, and more recent champions include Meraf Bahta and Carolina Wikstrom

The mystery stays covered

Its course runs across Djurgarden, the royal park island in central Stockholm, giving the race a scenic, traffic-free setting unusual for an event of its size

The city starts moving

As a women-only mass-participation race with four decades of continuous history, it occupies a distinct place in Stockholm's running calendar alongside the mixed-gender Stockholm Marathon and Lidingoloppet
