  • For a Good Cause / Your Entry Fee Makes a Difference: Göteborgsvarvet is arranged for the benefit of the athletics activities

    Göteborgsvarvet is arranged by the Göteborg Athletics Association to benefit athletics in the region. Around 4,000 volunteers participate through affiliated clubs, and sports clubs from various disciplines also contribute to the event. The primary purpose of Göteborgsvarvet is to generate a financial surplus to support a strong and sustainable club structure and to maintain the Friidrottens Hus training facility.
