Questions & Anwsers | Midnattsloppet

Registration

Registration for the Midnattsloppet is done through our registration portal. There, you can choose which race you want to participate in.

You can register individually, register multiple people at once, or purchase a value code.

**Individual Registration**

When you register, you will make the following choices:

1. Which start group you want to run in – choose your start group based on the time you think it will take you to run 10 km. Participants in the 5 km race have their own start group.
2. The size of your race shirt – participation in the race requires wearing the race shirt.
3. In which Stadium store you want to pick up your race kit* – Since the choice of pickup locations is limited, the earlier you register, the more stores you can choose from.
4. When registering, you can also choose to purchase: Medal (49 SEK), Diploma (80 SEK), Cancellation Insurance (125 SEK), Shower (60 SEK – Stockholm only).

*The race kit consists of: the race shirt, a timing chip, and a start group wristband.

REGISTER HERE

Yes, you can register and pay for multiple participants at the same time.

Here’s how to do it:
After filling in all your details and before confirming your booking, click on “Add a new registration.” Then, fill in the details for the person you want to register before confirming and paying for all registrations at once.

The people you register do not need to participate in the same race. In other words, you can mix: Midnattsloppet, Lilla Midnattsloppet , MiniMil, and Glada Midnattsloppte in the same registration session.

REGISTER HERE

Please note: When you register multiple people at the same time, the confirmation email will only be sent to the first person in the registration. However, all the people you have registered will receive their own start certificate to their email just like usual.

You can purchase voucher via our voucher shops. You can find them here: Stockholm, Malmö, Helsinki, Göteborg.
Choose a race and then “buy voucher” in the menu.

Once your purchase is paid and completed, the voucher will be sent to your email along with the registration confirmation and a link to a downloadable PDF with the value code on it. You can then print the voucher and give it as a gift or keep it for yourself.

Please note that purchasing a voucher does not in itself constitute registration for the race. Only when the recipient has registered using the voucher is the registration for the race complete. The earlier the registration is made, the more options there are to choose from regarding starting groups and kit pickup store.

– You can participate in the Midnattsloppet 10 km and 5 km from the year you turn 14 years old.
– Together with an adult, you can participate in the 5 km race from the year you turn 12 years old.
– Youth under 16 years old are not allowed to participate in the competitive class (nor through seeding)

A registration is recorded directly in the system, but it may take up to 3 days before your name appears on the start list.

Start lists for the different races: Digitala • Stockholm • Malmö • Helsingfors • Göteborg

*If money has been deducted from your account but you are not listed on the start list 3 days after registration, please contact Midnattsloppet customer service at: kundservice@midnattsloppet.com. Please attach the confirmation or receipt you received at the time of registration.

No, it is not possible to switch between the different Midnattslopp (Stockholm, Malmö, Helsinki, Göteborg, Digital). The reason for this is that there are different organizers for the different races and therefore different recipients of the registration fee.

Yes, but under certain conditions. It depends on whether you have chosen to pick up your race kit at one of our *live stores or at one of our *packaging stores.

– *Live stores allow changes within and between these stores until the distribution of race kits begins. The dates for this are seen below after the store names. Please note that it is not possible to switch from a live store to a packaging store or home delivery.

– *Packaging stores: No changes are possible after June 9. The reason for this is that we start packing and dispatching to these stores at the end of June.

Midnattsloppet Live Stores Stockholm: Stadium Ringen, Gallerian, Drottninggatan August 10 is the last date for change/transfer.

Malmö – Live Store Midnattsloppet Malmö: Stadium Södergatan August 24 is the last date for change/transfer.

Göteborg- Live Store Midnattsloppet Göteborg: Stadium RUN Nordstan, August 31 is the last date for change/transfer.

Helsinki – Live Store Midnattsloppet Helsinki: Stadium Forum September 7 is the last date for change/transfer.

HERE you can see the list of stores that are “live stores” and “packaging stores”.
*Live stores are marked with a star in the list (*)

No, unfortunately you cannot cancel a purchased starting spot unless you have purchased a cancellation protection*.
When purchasing cancellation protection and presenting a doctor’s certificate, certificate from a naprapath, masseur or company health care, we will refund the registration fee.

You send the certificate to:
Midnattsloppet Nordic AB
Enskedevägen 95
122 63 Enskede

or email it to: kundservice@midnattsloppet.com. You can submit the doctor’s certificate up to one week after the event.

* Cancellation protection costs 125 SEK and starts when your registration is paid and ends when the event starts.

The following is included in the registration fee:
– 10 km or 5 km running with a festive carnival atmosphere.
– Participant t-shirt from Craft.
– Timing with live results and interactive map.
– Water and sports drink along the course and at the finish line.
– After race products at the finish line.
– Clothing drop-off at the Runners Corner.

You can also purchase:
– Medal (49 SEK)
– Diploma (80 SEK)

The deadline for registration is the day when the event takes place, provided that there are still available spots.

For those aspiring to be at the front (1A, 1B, 1C), we require seeding based on previous results. The result must be from within the past 3 years and demonstrate that you can achieve the expected running time:

1A Men: 35:59 – Women: 39:59
1B 39:59
1C 44:59
2 49:59

You provide a link to your result when registering. You can also update your registration and improve your seeding until June 16th by emailing your result to customer service at kundservice@midnattsloppet.com. Runners in start group 1A are allowed to compete in their club uniforms.

When you sign up for the Midnattsloppet 10 km, you also choose a start group.

Choose a start group according to the time interval you believe you can complete the mile within. The flow of runners will then be better along the course. Please note that you run a high risk of being without a result if you start in a different start group than the one you signed up for. The start groups fill up quickly so first come, first served!

Yes, but under certain conditions depending on the Stadium store you have chosen. If you have selected one of our staffed live stores (Stockholm: Stadium Ringen, Gallerian, Drottninggatan) (Malmö: Stadium Södergatan) (Helsinki: Stadium Forum) (Göteborg: Stadium RUN Nordstan), it is possible to change the distance as long as there is availability before you pick up your race packet in the store. If you have chosen any other store than the ones mentioned above, you can change the category until June 9th.

Changing from 10 km to 5 km is free of charge, please note that we do not give a refund for the difference if the registration fees vary.
For changes from 5 km to 10 km, there is an additional fee of 100 SEK.

You can change distance yourself through a link in your registration confirmation where it says “Click here for class change.” Click on the link and then follow the instructions.

A common piece of feedback we receive is that the course often feels too crowded. We believe a contributing factor is that many runners choose a starting group that’s faster than their actual ability. When we compare the number of runners in each start group who achieve the expected time, we see that this creates bottlenecks along the course.

This year, we’re making two changes to improve the flow:

Start Group 2 will become a seeding group, meaning you’ll need to provide proof that you can run the expected time. (Read more about start groups startgroups.)
A new message in the registration process encourages everyone to choose a start group that matches their actual ability.

We hope these adjustments will contribute to a better flow and an improved experience for more participants. Thank you for helping make the Midnattsloppet even better for everyone.

No, you may not. This is because our main sponsors hold the rights to the printing on the shirt.

Midnattsloppet introduces another option.
For those who do not want to define themselves as male or female, there is now the possibility to choose “Other/ prefer not to say” when selecting gender.

What does this mean in concrete terms?
We will present you in a separate results list.

Will there be any competition classes?
No. Here it is all about the recreational class. Everyone participates, no award ceremony.

What happens in the team competition?
Women’s competition: Four women

Mixed: At least two women (3 women 1 man, 2 women 2 other/ prefer not to say, 2 women 1 other/ prefer not to say 1 man)

The rest automatically becomes a Men’s competition (3 men 1 woman, 2 men 2 other/ prefer not to say, 1 woman 3 other/ prefer not to say).

21 km

The 21 km group has the great honor of starting first of all.

The 21 km group will start first of all and you will run alone along the 10 km track until 6.8 km where you join the 5 km runners and run together with them until 9.8 km where you turn left onto Timmermansgatan then you run alone until you get up on Ringvägen.

To participate in Midnattsloppet 21 km, you need to have the capacity to complete the distance in no more than 2 hours and 20 minutes. This is to ensure that the flow of runners along the course runs as smoothly as possible. Please note that Midnattsloppet course is relatively hilly.

We review all submitted seeding results and approve them accordingly. If your result is not approved, we will email you to inform you.

We do not accept self-reported running results from apps such as Strava, Garmin, Suunto, etc.

You must arrive at Timmermansgatan by 22:17. If you arrive after that time, you will instead have to run straight into the finish line after 10 km.

To get the logistics and flow along the current track, we need to limit how long you can be out running. This year, we have set that time to 2 hours and 20 minutes.

After 9.8 km, take a left onto Timmermansgatan. About 120 meters before the intersection, you will be met by signs that guide you in the right direction. 6 signs with 20 meters between them with space to change lanes between the signs.

We have an additional fluid station for those of you running the half marathon. Water, sports drink, and toilets will be available here.

21 km is a pure exercise distance with no prizes, but of course you will be recorded in the history books.

The maximum number of participants is set to 1500 runners for Midnattsloppet 21 km.

Your time is taken with the help of a chip that you attach to your shoelace. Timing starts only when you pass the mat at the starting line so there is no need to rush at the beginning. You will then receive split times at kilometers: 1, 5, and 9. When you cross the finish line, the time stops and you have your result. All results are automatically published on the website shortly after finishing (usually within a few seconds).

There will be toilets at: water station 1, water station 2 as well as at start and finish.

Along the 10 km course, there are two water stations, one of which also serves as a water station for the 5 km race. Here, water and sports drink are served. The placement along the course varies slightly depending on which city you are running in.

Before the start, there is an opportunity to refill water at Runner’s Corner. You will also receive fluids after crossing the finish line.

Here you can find a map: Stockholm, Malmö, Helsingfors, Göteborg

After the race

Those of you who complete your 5th Midnattslopp will receive an anniversary diploma sent to your home a few weeks after the race. We offer the diploma as a thank you for being an important part of the Midnattslopp celebration for five years!

The diploma is automatically sent to all those who have completed 5 Midnattslopp races. You do not need to register anywhere.

Are you one of those who have added color to Midnattsloppet for many years? Then we want to celebrate you with a prize at this year’s race in Stockholm.

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 80 SEK and will be sent a few weeks after the race.

Midnattsloppet has had to discard a lot of medals every year, which we think is very sad and bad for the environment. From 2022, we have made the medal optional for those who really want it. This way, we save a little on nature’s resources. Starting from 2023, we have also added a ribbon and the medal is made of wood material.

The medal costs 49 SEK and can be added when registering for the race.
