Quick answers
RaceIndex has a GPS course file for TCS Lidingöloppet 15K, so runners can inspect the route line on the map. Elevation charts and ascent figures appear only when that file includes usable elevation data.
The TCS Lidingöloppet 15K route has 173 m of ascent, 178 m of descent and an estimated 1.0% grade-adjusted pace penalty versus a flat route.
Underfoot, expect off-road cross-country forest trails and gravel on Lidingö island, a shortened version of the classic 30 km terrain. The setting includes parkland and forest. the finish has historically always been at Grönsta gärde.
The stored route produces 173 m of ascent, while a source states 254 m. GPS sampling and elevation models can produce different totals, so both are labelled rather than combined.
Its normalised GAP factor is 1.0% slower than a flat course, with about 173 m of total ascent.
