Lidingöloppet
Lidingöloppet, Saturday September 27, 2008. Starting group 1A, B och C, 30 km men/women, some minutes after the start 12:30 pm from Koltorps gärde.
The initiative to arrange Lidingöloppet came from Karl Axel Karlberg and Sven Gärderud but the original idea to have a large competition for the average jogger comparable with Vasaloppet for cross country skiers, came from the sports magazine journalist Sven Lindhagen. In the first competition 1965, the number of participants was 644. The number of competitors grew rapidly as well as professional runners and has during the 2010s stabilized around 40,000 participants. In the 2022 competition the number of participants was 23,265. It is a tradition that long distance runners studying at Bosön sports training and education center participate at Lidingö. Tata Consultancy Services, a major IT company from India, is currently the primary sponsor of this event.
