Kraftloppet Skellefteå Löpning
Kraftloppet Skellefteå Löpning is a road-running series held at Falmyrvägen 66 in Bergsbyn, near Skellefteå in northern Sweden. It takes place in late August, organized by Bergsbyns SK. Adult distances are 21 km and 12 km, with children’s races of 2.7 km and 500 m. The longest race is a half marathon, and the event accommodates club runners, fitness runners, families, and children on the same day. Participants can enter the running races individually or as the final event in Kraftklassikern, a challenge requiring ski, bike, and run events within the same calendar year. The organizers frame the day as a local festival focused on health and community. The race is open to recreational participants seeking a clear, friendly goal in Bergsbyn, not just competitive runners.
