Swedish Magazine MCM released its latest coverage of the Mälaren Runt Biker Rally, showcasing the event’s growing popularity and detailed preparations. The rally, scheduled for July 5-6, 2025, around Lake Mälaren, is expected to draw over 3,000 participants, a 15% increase from last year’s 2,600 attendees. The magazine detailed the 600-kilometer route, which starts and ends in Stockholm, passing through 10 towns including Västerås and Eskilstuna, with checkpoints set up every 100 kilometers. Organizers reported that 150 volunteers will assist, managing traffic and safety across the two-day event. The rally features various categories, with 1,200 riders registered for the solo motorcycle division and 800 teams signed up for the group challenge as of June 10. MCM highlighted the event’s economic impact, estimating a boost of €1.2 million to local economies through tourism and spending, based on last year’s figures adjusted for inflation. The magazine also noted the participation of 50 international riders from countries like Norway and Finland, adding to the event’s diversity. Safety measures include 20 emergency response teams stationed along the route, an increase from 15 last year, following feedback from participants. The rally’s main event, a parade through Stockholm on July 6, is anticipated to attract 10,000 spectators, with road closures planned from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM CEST. MCM’s coverage included interviews with organizers, who emphasized the rally’s role in promoting motorcycle culture, with registrations closing on June 20, leaving 9 days for final sign-ups. The magazine plans a special edition post-event to document outcomes.
