START & FINISH LOCATION
The start and finish are located at Grönsta Gärde. The start is at 16:00. Your starting group and start time are on the number bib. The start will take place in groups of 250 people so congestion is avoided. Two groups will be in the starting area at the same time: the one standing at the start line, and the one waiting to walk up to the starting line. In order to avoid crowds, please arrive to the starting area 20 minutes before your start! You are also requested to please leave the finish area as soon as you have received your medal and refreshments.
CLOTHING/BAGS
A hand-in for bags and clothing items for this race can be found at Grönsta Gärde. Only TCS Lidingöloppet’s clothing bags may be used, which can be found at the number bib handout. By warm-up clothing we mean a thinner training jacket, sweater, and pants. Close the bag and put on your label. The items are picked up in the same place after the finish on presentation of your number bib. It is not allowed to leave valuables in the clothing bag.
