How to choose your start group
When you sign up, it is important to choose a start group according to a time interval that you can run within. The flow of runners will be better along the course if there are more people within each group running at a similar pace. The start groups fill up quickly, so first come, first served!

- 1A. Men: 35.59 min – Women: 39.59 min (Seeding required)

Start groups 5 km
5 km also has start groups, but these are not separated based on your expected running time.
Seeding
For those aspiring to be at the front (1A, 1B, 1C), we require seeding based on previous results, regardless of whether it was done in Midnattsloppet or not. The result should prove that you are capable of running the expected time.
You should provide a link to your result when registering.
Runners in start group 1A can compete in their club uniform but will also receive the participant t-shirt from Craft like everyone else.
