Track runnersGet the app!

Download Göteborgsvarvet's app and take part in information both for you as a runner and visitor. The app can be downloaded where apps are available and is called Göteborgsvarvet.

The app includes, among other things:

  • Live results where you can follow your friends with position and time.
  • Our latest news
  • Participant and visitor information
  • Results lists
  • Beautiful selfie filters
  • The app is recently updated for the 2023 race, update the app in your phone to follow runners.

When the app is updated, go into the app and click on the bell in the upper right corner and then click on Timing and News so they get a tick next to them, then you will get a push notification with updates live for the runners added as Favorites, at intermediate passes and goals.

Follow runners - Add your friends as favorites

  • Click on "Results & My Favorites" and search for the name or start number of the person you want to follow. For SEK 40 you can follow up to 25 runners at the same time. Click (+) and a runner will be added as a Favorite

In order for you to be able to follow a runner's exact position during the race, the person running the Göteborgsvarvet needs to register with their Registration ID + surname in the app at "My Race". The runner also needs to start tracking in the app in connection with the start of the race.

If you follow a runner who has not registered their registration ID/started tracking during the race, you will see the runner's intermediate times and results live, as well as the estimated time for the next intermediate pass, but not the runner's exact position on the course.
