This is a nice route on the eastern side of Brunnsviken Lake, combining a Botanical Garden, some paths along Bockholmens marina & Lappis Beach, and pleasant pedestrian walkways of the University of Stockholm. Part of the route overlaps with the Hahaparken perimeter loop, which can be used as a good add-on.

A 10k “runseeing" tour” of Stockholm’s main sites. Much of the route is along the water and over bridges to two islands. Includes Gustav Adolfs square, Old Town, Långholmen, Kungsholmen, City Hall. Nearly all off-road!
A residential island where the spectacular City Hall is located. Mostly along the water. Highlights include a beautiful park, an inner city beach, and Hornsbergs Strand. Add the 2 km loop around Lilla Essingen!
An 11.5 km loop of this island in south Stockholm. Many lovely sections, much of it along waterfront paths. Great views of the water, and other Stockholm islands.
This green oasis is Stockholm's most popular recreation area. Waterside paths passing several museums, galleries, gardens & historic buildings. The eastern side is the Royal Djurgården, with numerous paths around landscaped gardens.
A lovely green park about 5 km north of the city, popular for running. There are several scenic running paths, including a loop around Brunnsviken lake
A great run in central Stockholm with lots of variety. Combines the 1912 Olympic Stadium, the 3k Lill-Jansskogen off-road trail, beautifully landscaped Humlegården, and other small parks and bike paths, for a route of up to 12km.
Nice running on the island of Lidingö, the self-proclaimed 'health island'. We've mapped a route over the bridge and along the waterfront, and another one on forest paths at the northern end of Lidingö.
A nice recreation area offering several running trails in the woods and along the Källtorpssjön lake. It is located about 20 minutes by bus from downtown Stockholm. Numerous other recreation facilities, and a lakeside cafe.
In southern Stockholm, there's some pleasant and easy trail running in the Skärholmen area. There are some trails near the water, some interior trails, and even more at Vårbergstoppen Park. Mainly wooded.
Drottningholm Palace is a great spot for a destination run, with beautiful grounds and gardens. Also in the area are nice wetlands trails around Judarskogen Nature Preserve and forest trails of Kärsön Island.
