Tips from the judges!

Stand out, be unique and dare to take centre stage!
Think lightweight, thin materials.
A participant in fancy dress with a story behind their costume is always a little more interesting!

Rules

To ensure everyone has a fun and safe experience, costumes must not include anything involving:

Cultural appropriation or racism
Inappropriate or offensive content
Political messages
Weapons or sharp objects that could injure others

If you’re unsure about your costume, ask yourself: “Could my choice in any way cause harm to someone?” If the answer is yes, choose something else!

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, Mini Midnattsloppet, and Glada Midnattsloppet in the same registration session.

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 7–10 days before the race to their email just like usual.
