Rönninge Backyard Run 2026

Rönninge Backyard Run is a 12-hour backyard-style race in Rönninge, Sweden, centered on a 6,706-meter lap. The first lap begins at 09:00, with subsequent laps starting on the hour for 12 hours. To continue, each runner must complete the current lap in under an hour and be present for the next start; participants missing a start are eliminated, with their result recorded at their last completed lap. Runners may not skip a lap and rejoin later, and completing at least one lap is sufficient for inclusion in the results. The race features separate women’s and men’s categories. The winner is the individual who remains in the race the longest and demonstrates the fastest time on the final lap among the remaining competitors. The course begins at Bubblan in Toredal, incorporating road, a waterfront path, and trail sections. It commences with approximately 1 km of asphalt along Ekbacksvägen and Uttringe Gårdsväg, loops back past Bubblan on the opposite side, and proceeds along Toredalsvägen and Sandbäcksvägen. From there, it follows the waterside promenade towards Bergviksvägen before entering the trails around Garnudden and returning. This format emphasizes pacing over an initial burst of speed, requiring runners to balance the speed needed to finish each lap within the hour with the endurance to maintain this pace. A related Rönninge 6h event in June utilizes the same 6,706-meter loop on Garnudden for those preferring a fixed-duration race.
