The world’s most cheerful cross-country run. Do you attend a school for students with learning disabilities, or work at a daily activity center for people with intellectual disabilities? Then this is the run for you and your friends. For the eighth consecutive year, LidingöRuset is being arranged in cooperation with the City of Lidingö, the Swedish Sports Organization for the Disabled and the Stockholm Sports Organization for the Disabled, and in just a few years it has become a classic. And when you cross the finish line, a medal, fruit and a drink will be waiting for you.

The world’s biggest cross-country race. Talk about classics! The 30k Lidingöloppet run is something out of the ordinary and attracts thousands of runners and athletes from all over the world. Registration is limited to 20,000 runners, but the run has become so popular that in 2011 registration closed in early August. Lidingöloppet is also one of the cornerstones of A Swedish Classic.

The world’s biggest little cross-country run. The biggest crosscountry run for boys and girls aged seven to fifteen. And a great challenge for you, your friends and your club or team mates. Just the right distance, with start and finish at Grönsta gärde. Medal, fruit and a drink for everyone.
