Minivarvet:The race for the youngest

Minivarvet is Sweden's largest children's race and since its inception, 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 up to the age of 6 - born in 2018 and later. Register online today or in the event area at the race day! Together, we create memories for life.

Minivarvet was 2023 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.
