Food & drinks: A kiosk will be available on site selling light refreshments and coffee.

Bag drop: Bag drop is available at Friidrottens Hus and will be staffed by volunteers, but please note that you leave your belongings there at your own risk.

If you are planning to check in a bag, you can print your bag tag on site at Friidrottens Hus. Scan the QR code on your envelope at one of our stations, and you will receive a bag tag to attach to your bag. You can also scan your bib number.

Please note that your bag may be inspected by volunteers at Friidrottens Hus, which may take some extra time. Plan ahead and leave your bag well before the start to avoid queues at the bag storage.

After the race, collect your bag from the bag drop no later than 14:00. Keep your race bib until you have collected your bag, as it serves as your receipt when retrieving it.

Warm-up: A group warm-up session will be provided at the start led by instructors from STC.

Timing: Timing is done with net time. We use an automatic timing system where all runners have a chip attached to their race bib. The official time is the net time from the start line to the finish line, so you don't need to jostle for a good position at the start.

Seeding/Starting wave: Varvetmilen uses a “friend seeding” system. This means that runners help each other by choosing a suitable starting position, creating the best flow for the entire field from start to finish.
You choose your own place in the start pen. If you plan to run at an easier pace, line up towards the back. If you expect to run fast, position yourself towards the front.
Your time begins when you cross the start line.

Race course: Varvetmilen Göteborg is measured by a certified federal track measurer according to the rules established by Swedish Athletics. The finish line closes at 1 PM. The organizer may direct runners onto the sidewalk if necessary to allow traffic to reopen according to plan.
