FOUR SPLIT TIME DISPLAYS

Split times will be displayed at 5 km, 10 km, 15 km, and 20 km.
Please note that the clocks start according to the first start group at 11:00. This means that if, for example, you start in start group 9, you must subtract 45 minutes from the displayed split times.

CHEERING & ENTERTAINMENT ALONG THE COURSE

At adidas Premiärhalvan, you are the focus of the day. You’ll be cheered on by spectators, volunteers, cheer squads and DJs. adidas will host an energizing activation halfway along the course, and Runacademy will be out with a lively cheer squad to boost your motivation.

CUT-OFF TIME & MINIMUM AGE

The Swedish Police Authority has granted a maximum race time of 3 hours.
If you start in start group 10 at 11:50, you must finish no later than 14:50.

There is a cut-off (reptid) at 14:02 at the 15 km mark.
Runners who have not passed 15 km by this time will not be allowed to continue and will be guided off the course. It is approximately a 1‑km walk back to the event area.

Swedish Athletics Federation competition rules apply.
All participants run at their own risk.
Minimum age: 17 years.

AND REMEMBER… 

21,098 meters is a long distance, and you need to save energy for the final part of the race. Do not start if you are not fully healthy, and do not push yourself to continue if you feel unwell. Running while sick or with cold symptoms can be dangerous.
If the weather is warm, ensure you drink water. Bring a bottle from home to use before and after the race.

SERVICE

CHANGING FACILITIES

We recommend arriving already dressed for the race.
After the race (from around 12:00), a changing tent will be available in the event area (no showers). Space is limited, so we advise changing at home if possible.
There are no shower facilities on-site.

TOILETS

Toilets are available in the event area and at all hydration stations along the course.
Please use the toilets — not the surrounding nature — as the race takes place in the Royal National City Park.
Free menstrual products are available in our information tent at all our events.

BAG DROP

A bag drop area is located in the event area where you can leave your warm-up clothing.
With your race bib, you will receive a numbered sticker matching your bib number. Attach this to your own waterproof bag (there is no roof over the bag drop area, and bags are not provided).

Please:

• Bring your own bag
• Bring a safety pin to attach the sticker
• Drop off your bag early to avoid queues
• Avoid bringing valuables

FINISH LINE SERVICES

After crossing the finish line, you will receive your medal — unless you opted out during registration as part of our sustainability initiative.
If you chose to opt out, your bib will say “NO MEDAL”.

Finish line refreshments include:

• Vitamin Well drink
• Knoppers wafer bar (contains nuts)
• Corny bar
• ProPud chocolate milkshake

RESULTS

Preliminary results are published immediately after the race at premiarhalvan.se.
Official results will be posted approximately one week later.

Regardless of your start group, your time is measured from when you cross the start line to when you cross the finish line.
A QR code on your bib links directly to your results.

FIRST AID

Our first aid team is located in the event area and at three of the five hydration stations (stations 2, 3, and 5).

Do not start the race if you are unwell. Consult the first aid team before the race if you feel uncertain.

During the race, their role is to provide immediate care and ensure participants who require further treatment are transported to hospital.
They may remove runners from the course if they are injured, exhausted, or unable to continue safely.

If you need transport back to the event area, motorcycle transport is available — contact the nearest volunteer.

SUSTAINABILITY

As organizers of a major event, we work actively to reduce our environmental impact. You can contribute by:

• Traveling by public transport
• Reducing single‑use materials
• Making climate‑smart choices
• Offsetting your carbon footprint

In the forests and parks, please stay on the marked course and respect the rules of the National City Park. Many animals live in the area — please ensure that safety pins do not end up on the ground.

We are proud to collaborate with Sortera, who ensure that all waste is sorted at the event’s recycling station.
Please dispose of waste correctly — clear signage will guide you.

All collected waste is handled by Sortera at their facilities.
