• How to register for the race

  A registration to Midnattsloppet is done in our registration portal, where you first choose which race you want to enter. You can do a personal registration, register several runners at the same time or buy a gift card.

  Personal registration

  When registering you will make the following choices: 

  1. What start group you want to run in – Choose your start group based on your estimated finishing time in the 10K race. The 5K race has its own start group.

  2. The size of your adidas race shirt –  To participate in the race there is a requirement that you run in the official race shirt.

  3. In what Stadium store you want to pick up your start kit  –  The options to chose different stores for the pick up location of your start kit are limited. Therefore you have more alternatives the earlier you register for the race. The start kit include your race shirt, a timing chip and a wristband.

  When you register you can add gift cards as an extra product.

  2. Without making an own registration to the race

Choosing your start group

• How to choose your start group
• Seeding

• How to choose your start group

  It´s important that you are realistic when choosing your start group based on your predicted finishing time. The aim is that runners in a start group are running the race in a pace as close to each other as possible. This will make the flow of the race, and the running experience, better for all participants. 

  If your expected finishing time, for example, in  the 10K  race is 53 minutes, you should choose starting group 3. 

  Below are the start groups and expected finishing times listed. 

  – 1A. Men – 35.59 min, Women – 39.59 min (seeding required)

  – 1B. 36.00 – 39.59 min (seeding required)

  – 1C. 40.00 – 44.59 min (seeding required)

  – 2.  45.00 – 49.59 min

  – 3.  50.00 – 54.59 min

  – 4.  55.00 – 59.59 min

  – 5.  60.00 – 64.59 min

  – 6.  65.00 – 69.59 min

  – 7.  70.00 – 85.00 min

  The 5K start group will start approx. 10 minutes after the last start of the 10K race.

  If you want to register for the star groups 1A, 1B or 1C seeding is required. 

   

  The different Midnattsloppet races have varied numbers of start groups in each category.  Availability may be limited based on the number of participants already registered to a certain start group. The available start groups in a specific race will be visible during the registration.

• Seeding

  In order to register to one of our fastest starting groups, i.e. 1A, 1B or 1C, you need to present a previous result qualifying you for participation in these groups. 

  The rules for seeding in Midnattsloppet:

  • The result has to be from a competition with official time keeping. You need to send a link to your result while registering for the race.
  • We do not seed participants based on results from other sports besides running, e.g. cycling or skiing.
  • The result can´t be older than from 2017

  Runners in start group 1A may compete in their club uniform, but will however also receive the race shirt from adidas like everybody else. The start kit is to be picked up at the Info tent at Runners Corner on the evening of the race from 18:30 onward.
