Midnattsloppet Stockholm

Very fun race. There are a lot of stations that play music, there is a starter shirt rather than a finisher shirt which you must wear which makes the pack of runners look awesome, and the crowds get bigger and bigger the further along you get. There is also a masquerade competition going on at the same time, so you will see a lot of funny costumes and maybe also some characters you recognize? Course is a bit slow with a massive hill at ~4k, but let's be real, this is a race you run for the experience, not for that 10k PB.

I loved this race! A friend signed me up for it 45 minutes before the start, so the race started a bit earlier because I had to arrive on time. We were supposed to do 5K and because we could not find each other, we started with the 10K wave and missed the 5K turn. A lot of supporters and music along the course. A few good hills as well, so it is not a boring, flat race. It's really fun. Highly recommended!

Run through the lively area of Stockholm on the Södermalm Island. The most fun and cheerful crowds, music, dance, smiles, clap ... it really motivate me to keep running. and August in Sweden is the best 25-30 C. It was not flat route for me. One of the event that I will do it again.
