If you have run 10, 15, or 20 races, you will receive an anniversary medal.
If you have achieved an even greater feat and participated in 25, 30, 35, or 40 races, you will receive a prize in art glass.

Collect your prize
You can collect your prize directly after crossing the finish line inside the “Runner’s Corner” in the information tent (Zinkensdamms IP). We would like to acknowledge the jubilarians, so be prepared for one of our speakers to possibly interview you.

If you want a nice memory from the race, you can buy a diploma as an additional product when registering. You will receive a nice diploma with a drawing of the Midnight Run motif with your name and finishing time. The diploma costs 85 SEK and will be sent a few weeks after the race.

You can also purchase a diploma after completing your registration. Contact our customer service at kundservice@midnattsloppet.com and they will assist you.
