About the Event

The Sylvesterloppet invites runners of all levels to experience a scenic and welcoming race along the shores of Malmfjärden, just minutes from Kalmar's historic Fredriksskans. Starting at this prestigious site, participants will enjoy a flat course that is both comfortable and easy on the legs.
For those looking for a shorter distance, the 5km event offers one lap around Malmfjärden’s picturesque waterfront. The route winds through tranquil surroundings where runners can take in the serene beauty of the area while maintaining an enjoyable pace. Completing this loop brings participants back to Fredriksskans, marking their finish line with a sense of accomplishment.
Competitors choosing the 10km option will have twice the opportunity to explore Malmfjärden’s natural splendor as they complete two laps around the same scenic course. This distance provides runners with more time to appreciate the environment and soak in the atmosphere before crossing the finishing line at Fredriksskans once again.
Both race distances culminate back where it all began, allowing participants to celebrate their achievements within this iconic setting.
The Sylvesterloppet is designed for a smooth running experience, making it ideal for runners seeking an enjoyable and scenic outing in Kalmar.
