The Unionsmarathon, set for Saturday, July 5, 2025, is a truly distinctive annual running event that celebrates the unique historical and geographical connection between Norway and Sweden. Organized collaboratively by Norway's Rømskog IL and Sweden's Boviken SK, this cross-border race is known for its scenic course that navigates through idyllic forests, lakes, rivers, and charming agricultural settlements on both sides of the national border. Participants can choose from a range of distances, including a full Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K races, along with a non-competitive 10 km Trim and various children's races (420m, 1km, 2km, 4km). The relatively hilly course, featuring a mix of asphalt and gravel, offers a challenging yet beautiful running experience that culminates in a lively atmosphere at the Kurøen Bygdetun in Rømskog, Norway.
