2010: Isabellah's first mile victory

The advancement of technology in the field of moving images meant that several spectators filmed the Lidingö Race and uploaded it to the Internet, which allowed for a completely different overview afterwards.

For instance, even Kenyans can get tired, which happened on Karin's hill a couple of kilometers from the finish line.

One who maintained the pace and style throughout the race was Japhet Korir, who after an incredibly strong final mile won by over four minutes with a time of 1:36:30, where three quarters of the victory margin was built up during the last half hour.

The best Swede was debutant David Nilsson from Högby who, with his fourth place finish in 1:44:22, surprised even himself. Another satisfied debutant was Ulrika Johansson who, despite having to walk three times in the last mile, maintained her lead to win in 2:00:40.

In the women's main class 10 km, Hässelby's Isabellah Andersson followed up her second place from the previous year with a victory in 35:03, half a minute ahead of her club mate Anna von Schenck.

The increased interest in health and fitness was undoubtedly a contributing factor to the continued rise in the number of registrants, where the new record figure was noted as 39,744.

2011: Largest margin of victory

The registration curve rose further in the 47th Lidingöloppet and already at the beginning of August, the registration cap was reached for the 30-kilometer race despite the number of spots being increased by two thousand to 20,000. For the first time, the event had over 40,000 registered runners where 43,175 marked the record.

Isabellah Andersson had established herself as one of the world's leading marathon runners with a seventh-place finish at the World Championships in South Korea the previous month and won the mile distance at Lidingö for the second year in a row. In the men's race, the winners of the past two years, Japhet Kipkorir and his compatriot Lewis Korir, took off right at the starting shot and quickly left the other runners far behind.

The duo stayed together until just before twenty kilometers and at Grönsta after 20 km, Lewis was leading by 15 seconds ahead of Japhet who in turn was 4.5 minutes ahead of the third-place Haben Idris from Hässelby. On the last ten kilometers, Korir completely fell behind while Lewis, after a really strong final stretch, won by over seven minutes with a time of 1:34:54 – the largest victory margin in the history of the race and the third fastest time. David Nilsson came in second with a personal best of 1:42:01, with Lars Johansson half a minute behind in third place.

2012: New participation record and millionth runner

The positive trend continued and with 44,144 registrations, a new record was set for the fifth consecutive year. Noteworthy was also Magnus Hedström from Lund who became the millionth runner to register for the Lidingö Race.

Saturday's Lidingö race saw 23-year-old Eric Senorski from Örgryte IS, who in his debut at 30 km was the second strongest of all in the last 10 km and ran up to a final fourth place with a time of 1:40:50. The fastest of all for the second year in a row was Lewis Korir, whose 1:35:26 meant a victory margin of 3.5 minutes.

After two consecutive victories in the mile race, Isabellah Andersson came to the island with several colds behind her and could not give Perine Nengampi a match. The young Kenyan won by a 1.5 minute margin with a time of 34:13, with Isabellah finishing second.

2013: Third consecutive win for Lewis Korir

For the first time, the entire Lidingöloppet weekend was broadcast live with video on the Internet. A highly appreciated service that had over 60,000 visitors. Those who were on site experienced clouds with some sunshine and excellent running weather.

The one in the biggest hurry on the 30-kilometer race was Lewis Korir who, by this time, knew the course well and became the first to win the Lidingöloppet three years in a row. This was after a victory margin of almost five minutes thanks to a time of 1:35:23. The battle for the position of best Swede was almost the entire race a duel between Högbys David Nilsson and Vallentunas Lars Södergård. For the first half, they took turns leading, but then David pulled away and was at most half a minute ahead but was caught and overtaken by Lars who reached the goal first of the two – 1:41:17 against 1:42:13. Thus, Lars improved his personal record by eight minutes in what was his tenth start on the 30-kilometer race.

With Isabellah Andersson absent from the 10 km, Perine Nengampi was able to defend her title quite easily, finishing in 34.11, nearly a minute faster than the previous year. Cecilia Kleist from Akele came in second, more than two minutes behind.

The winner of the M60 category 10 km was Bo Christer Bertilson who crossed the finish line with a laurel wreath for the first time in 40 years. In the years 1971, 72 and 73, he won the junior class.

New for the year was the wheelchair class which took place on Friday and, just like the other races, was a challenge with a real hill.
