Velothon Stockholm is a cycling race held annually in Sweden.[1] It is part of UCI Europe Tour in category 1.1. It is part of the UCI Velothon Majors series of races organised by Lagardère Unlimited, which also includes Velothon Berlin, Velothon Wales and Velothon Vienna. These events are characterised by mass-participation sportives before an elite race along a lengthened route.

After the 2017 race, the organizer, Lagardere, announced that the race was closed down because: “The demand among recreational and competitive cyclists has been too low, resulting in low participation rates.”[2]
