It’s definitely that time of the year when there’s usually some sort of race going on every weekend. That time between late Summer and early Autumn when temperatures are cool and mild enough not to give you heat stroke while running.

And last week was the start of a popular race(actually, the world’s largest cross country race), Lidingöloppet, that spans a couple days with various categories including a children’s race.  The cross-country race takes runners through one of Stockholm’s most beautiful (and expensive) islands – Lidingö.

Thousands of women (25,106 to be exact!) hit the streets of Stockholm today in the annual Tjejmilen race which is the largest women’s sporting event in Sweden. The ladies (from 20+ countries) started off in Gärdet, and ran the 10K course which took them through Djurgården.

Along the course as the women ran were musicians (specifically female bands), snack tables (including cheesecake I heard), and thousands of dads with strollers, babies, and children cheering “Mom!” on.
