The Ullevi stadium is Gothenburg’s premiere sports and concert arena, but this route is more than sprinting stairs. A series of paved pathways form a 3.5 km route around the arena and the nearby Avagen Canal. The rectangle around the arena is only about 1.5 km, but an out and back on the lovely canal path will tack on another 1.5 km.
Longer Run. Connect to the Trädgårdsföreningen/Kungsparken, just 750m from the stadium, using Ullevigatan

The 2.4 kms of paths along the river Göta Älv are the top choice when it comes to running in Gothenburg, and a great way to get across the city without leaving the waterside.
The centerpiece of a 1.5 km greenbelt along Gothenburg’s central canal, and is a delightful jewel of greenery in the heart of the city. The park is situated between the water and the Nya allén road. Good add-on options.
Located just southwest of the city center, Slottsskogen park is home to miles of tarmac paths that are great for a peaceful park run. A loop around the park is about 2.5 miles (4 km).
A national reserve right near the city center, is a favorite for those who want some trail running. 320 hectares, with great variety. We've mapped a route around botanical gardens and a lake. Can combine with Slottskogen.
This route utilizes the Lindholmsallen Path through the center of the district, then wraps around the waterfront, where you can watch the ferries come and go. The loop is 3 km, or 6 km if you add the lovely waterfront path in Eriksberg.
A great resource for runners in Gothenburg. Combination indoor gym and outdoor recreation facility, with designated running trails of 2.5 km, 5 km, and 8 km (some lit!), and trail run of up to 18 km. Enjoy a post-run sauna and shower in the gym!
