The "6 sjöar" race offers runners an unforgettable journey through Sweden's scenic beauty, with all four distances encircling serene lakes. This unique event allows participants to experience the charm of Swedish landscapes while running along picturesque routes. The marathon route takes you around six stunning lakes, providing a breathtaking backdrop for your run. The race features four distinct distances: 42.2 km (marathon), 21.1 km (half-marathon), 10.5 km, and 5.5 km. Each course is designed to cater to different levels of runners, making it an ideal event for those who want to bring friends or family along. One of the highlights of this race is its celebration at Fjällnora Beach, located between two lakes with a backdrop of dense forests. Here, participants can enjoy a refreshing swim after crossing the finish line and celebrate their achievement in style. The "6 sjöar" event prides itself on being small-scale and friendly, aiming to accommodate up to 500 runners per distance. The race organizers prioritize sustainability by providing multi-use cups instead of single-use plastic ones, reducing waste while ensuring a fun running experience for everyone involved. Participants may encounter the nostalgic sight of an old steam train along parts of the course, adding another layer of charm and character to your run through Sweden's natural beauty. For those who have furry friends at home, approximately 10 dogs joined around 1400 runners in previous years. If you're uncomfortable with running alongside four-legged companions, feel free to contact the organizers for alternative arrangements. The race offers a generous health and travel guarantee: up until two weeks before the event, participants can receive a refund minus SEK 100 (approximately €10) for handling fees; three days prior, refunds are available minus SEK 150 (around €15); and one day ahead of time, runners have the option to defer their entry to next year's race without any additional costs. The "6 sjöar" event promises a memorable experience that combines stunning natural beauty with a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
