Lysfald Løbet 3. oktober i Fårup Sommerland 2026

Lysfald Løbet is a midnight race inside Fårup Sommerland in Blokhus, Denmark, with every starter setting off at 23:59 after the amusement park has gone dark. The run is tied to Lysfald, billed as Denmark’s largest light festival, so the park is covered with thousands of sparkling lamps while runners and walkers move through it. BridgeRunner organizes the event, and the distance choices range from short walk/run options around 2.5 km, 5 km, and 10 km to 15 km and a half marathon for runners. The route uses a lit, marked loop of about 2.5 km inside the park, so longer distances mean repeated laps through the same illuminated setting. Participants get a start number and a unique metal medal, with water and juice available during the race. People are encouraged to wear running vests or other soft lights, but sharp white lamps are discouraged because they would distract from the park lighting. Children up to 12 can walk or run any distance, although their Sportstiming result is listed as 2.5 km, and the rides stay closed during the race.
