About this race
Södra Änggårdsloppet starts and finishes by Internationella Engelska Skolan in Södra Änggården, Gothenburg. It is an 8 km trail race in Västra Götaland, with about 310 meters of climbing packed into a short course through Änggårdsbergen. The race is still young, now in its third running, and the entry fee for the 8 km is 165 SEK.
The field is split into start groups so faster racers and more relaxed runners can settle into a pace that suits them. The event leans into a party feel: smoke fireworks, food trucks, and a DJ are part of the setup, with medals and drinks for finishers. Friends and family have something to do while runners are out on the trails, which makes it feel less like a bare-bones race and more like a local running day in Södra Änggården.
