The Kalmar Sylvesterloppet is a festive New Year’s Eve race in Sweden, offering runners of all levels a choice between two scenic distances: a 10 km course consisting of two laps around the picturesque Malmfjärden and a 5 km course covering a single lap of the same route. The flat and fast course provides a perfect setting for both competitive runners aiming for personal bests and casual participants seeking a fun end-of-year challenge. In addition to the main races, the event features shorter distances for younger participants, including 400 meters for children born in 2019 or later, 1 km for those born in 2017–2018, and 2 km for those born in 2011–2012, promoting family participation and community engagement.
