See our information on the start page!
Choose between Full Distance (approx. 50 km) or Half Distance (25 km).
The first start is 10:00 outside Soldäckbryggan below Strandpromenaden in central Sigtuna. First out are those who want to skate a bit faster and aim for a good time. Then we release groups of about 10-20 people at a time between 10:00-11:00. Full distance starts first, followed by half distance.
The main plan for the track is to go three laps from Sigtuna south, into Flottviken and then over to Kungsängssidan and then turn back to Sigtuna. Those who ride the shorter course ride about 1.5 laps.
We plan for one or two skating stations along the way with water and energy, depending on the final route.
Helmets and ice spikes are mandatory, and we recommend bringing some extra drinks and snacks. There will also be a few officials along the route.
Please note that all skating is at your own risk.
Upon finishing, all participants will receive a beanie and a seat cushion for their skating bag.
Registration costs 600 SEK, and registration closes at 10:00 AM on Sunday, February 18.

About Sigtuna
Sigtuna Stad is Sweden’s epicentre for long-distance skating located at Mälaren, only 11 km from Arlanda, 37 km from Stockholm and 27 km from Uppsala. In addition to Mälaren, there are hundreds of other lakes in direct proximity where you can seek out the best ices. When you don’t skate, you can visit churches and ruins, castles and crofters, the smallest town hall and the largest airport – they’re all part of our history and they’re all worth a visit.
Please take a walk on Stora Gatan which is Sweden’s first pedestrian street. The pedestrian street was built in 970, i.e. the same year that the city of Sigtuna was founded. Today, a thousand years later, Sigtuna is still an international meeting place. Thanks in large part to its location and proximity to the outside world via Arlanda, Sweden’s largest airport. Here begins Sweden.
