When is the last day you’re able to register?

The registration is active as long as there is a supply of race shirts. The assumption is that the registration will be open until race day (15th of August in Sweden and 29th of August in Finland), but there are no guarantees it won’t be closed earlier. It’s better to sign up well in advance, as specific sizes of the shirts might run out. You also have to be able to pick up your shirt before the race. 

Can someone else pick up my shirt?

If you’re not able to pick up your shirt, someone else can do it on your behalf. To be able to pick up your shirt this person needs to have your start certificate.

Can I change the size of the race shirt?

The distribution of the race shirts is handled a bit differently this year. Together with Stadium we have increased the amount of stores where you can pick up your shirt. Due to this we’re not able to keep extra stock of the shirts in the stores. Only the shirts ordered when participants signed up will be sent to each store.

If you’ve ordered the wrong size by mistake, we naturally want to help you to get it swapped. You can send a mail to info@midnattsloppet.com by the 24th of July (Sweden) or 18th of August (Finland). After these dates the shirts will be packed and shipped to the stores.

Can I change the Stadium store for the pick up?

If you want to change the location for the pick up of your shirt that is possible until the 24th of July (Sweden) or 18th of August (Finland). You can send a mail to info@midnattsloppet.com and we will change the location on your behalf.
