The race takes place in Bromma, an affluent Western district of Stockholm. This area is characterized by its high socio-economic status and specific demographic makeup. Based on recent municipal data for the Bromma borough, approximately 81.4% of the population has a Swedish background, while 18.6% have a foreign background (born abroad or both parents born abroad). This is lower than the Stockholm city average, which sits closer to 38% for foreign backgrounds. The district is known for its high concentration of "villas" (detached houses) and a high percentage of residents with post-secondary education (approx. 72%). The median income in Bromma is significantly higher than the national Swedish average, reflecting the district's status as one of Stockholm's most prestigious residential areas.
