210 meters of pure joy as the youngest, 0-6 year old, run Minivarvet in Slottsskogen. 23-24 May 2025.

MinivarvetThe race for the youngest

Minivarvet is Sweden's largest children's race and since its start, thousands and thousands again of small children have run Minivarvet. Many kids are satisfied with one lap, while others run the course several times. Minivarvet is charged with running, joy, play and adventure. With this race, we want to encourage an active life from when the children are young.

Minivarvet is for children born in 2020 or later (the year the child turns 6 years old.)

Register online today or in the event area at the race day! Together, we create memories for life.

Minivarvet has expanded with Minivarvet Trail. An early adventure for the youngest, where they get to take on a course with obstacles in the family area. Both races are included in the registration, and our mini-sprinters can run as many laps as their legs can carry them.

The course210 meters in Slottsskogen

The Minivarvet course is approximately 210 meters long, runs on grass, and is marked on both sides to create safety. For the very youngest, Minivarvet is their first big adventure. Of course, it is allowed for you as a parent to run alongside them if you can keep up with their pace, that is. You will find the Minivarvet event area just below Björngårdsvillan in Slottsskogen.
