How do I know that I am registered?
Once your registration is complete, you’ll be added to the Start List for the Jönköping Marathon and Half Marathon. You’ll see the confirmation on your screen immediately after registering, and you’ll receive a confirmation email as soon as you’ve paid. The confirmation also serves as a receipt and meets the requirements of the Swedish Tax Agency for use as documentation for wellness allowances. As soon as you’ve paid, you’re registered and will appear on the start list.
I have not received a notification?
When you register and pay, a registration confirmation will be sent out by email with a summary of all registered and any other purchases (t-shirt, cap) that were made at registration. Check the junk mail in case you can’t find it.
I have received a gift card, how do I redeem it?
You register as usual and tick the distance and products you want. Then enter the code you received as a gift. Then the amount is deducted from the shopping cart. If it does not work, it is because the person who bought the gift card did not enter your email address at the time of purchase (the code only allows registration via the selected email address). If so, please email us at info@jonkopingmarathon.se and we will add your address so that you can complete the registration.

Competition day
Parking
Since we’re expecting a very large crowd at this year’s Marathon, we recommend arriving at the venue well in advance. This year, we’re partnering with the parking app Parkster, and we recommend downloading the app and creating an account before the race so you’ll be ready when the day arrives. With Parkster, you only pay for parking, and you can park without any extra fees. For more information about Parkster and how to use it, visit Parkster—The Parking App for an Easier Everyday Life 
Parking garages near the start and finish:
Sesam Parking Garage, Smedjan Parking Garage, Biblioteket Parking Garage, Atollen Parking Garage, Per-Brahe Parking Garage
There are also parking spaces along the streets and in the squares. You can find more information about fees and other details on the municipality’s website.
Please note that parking fees apply, even on Saturdays.
Can my friends follow me during the race?
Yes! via the results page “follow runners” you can follow the leaders of the race as well as specifically the desired person.
When will more detailed competition information be posted on the website?
You can find a lot already under the participants tab. No later than four weeks before the race, more detailed race information will be posted on the website under the “participant information” tab. There you can read practical information about the race. Read also the Start-PM (published two weeks before the race).
Why don’t you give exact time limits for the different starting groups?
The reason is that all starting groups should be equal in size. This minimises congestion and provides the best possible running experience. Before start all runners choose their starting group (based on estimated finish time). All runners start at the same time (fastest group first). The important thing is that you put yourself in the right starting group. Start groups are marked.
What is the start time for the races?
Both distances start at 10:00 . Come in good time. It is important that you get into the right starting group. Start groups are marked with finish time for marathon (not pace). So if you plan to finish half marathon in 2 hours, you place yourself in start group marked 4:00 (4 hours would it take to run marathon in your pace).
You will find more info on the page participants and in your Start-PM
What does maximum time mean?
If you run faster than the maximum time, you are guaranteed that officials and road closures will remain in place. But even if you run slower, you can still complete the race – but at your own risk and by following normal traffic rules. If you finish before 16:00 (6 hours after the start), you will receive a medal and your time will be recorded in the results list.
