  • Midnattsloppet/Midnight Run 17 August 2013
    Midnattsloppet/Midnight Run

    The idea for the Midnight Run came from some people from Hammarby, Stockholm who were out on a training round in the late 70'ies. The Rio carnival stood as a model and the idea was based on combining sport and culture and to allow different generations to meet.
    What makes Midnight Run so exciting and unique is the late start time, the arrangements for the participants and the audience around the course and especially the mood and atmosphere that raises on a Midnight Run Evening.
