BEFORE THE RACE

START CERTIFICATE AND NUMBER BIBS

Registered participants receive their Start Certificate via email. The Start Certificate contains the participant’s personal QR code. To collect your number bibs and chip: bring your personal QR code to the Number Bib Distribution. At the time of delivery, you will scan your personal QR code and your number bib will be printed. You can also find your QR code on My Pages.

BACK NUMBER BIB

Fill in the information requested on the back of the number bib and carefully read the instructions for attaching your chip to your helmet. Then attach the number bib visibly to your back. On the lower part of the number bib there are two smaller perforated parts with your starting number. You can tear these off to use at the free bag or valuables drop-off.

During Lidingöloppet MTB, MIOO’s mechanics will be available at Lidingövallen, ready to help you solve any issues before start. There will also be mechanics around the course, equipped with backpacks, first aid kits, and tools if any problems would occur with your equipment during the race.

NUMBER BIB

Attach the other bib to the front of the bike handlebars.

CHIP

Attach as instructed to a clean, dry helmet. The chip is a disposable chip and does not need to be returned. Number bibs must not be removed from the bike/back during the race. Any old chip must be removed before new chip is put on. The number bib distribution takes place at Lidingövallen. Opening hours in The Number Distribution: Thursday 23.9 18:00-21:00, Friday 24.9 09:00-21:00, Saturday 25.9 07:00-15:00, and Sunday 26.9 07:00-14:00. Saturday 2/10 07:00-15:00. Keep in mind that it is a couple of kilometers to cycle up to the start at Koltorps Gärde. If you have the opportunity, we recommend that you pick up your number bib the day before your race.

START

The start is at Koltorp. Your starting group and start time are on the number bib. The start will take place in groups of 50 people at 5-minute intervals to avoid congestion. Start group 1 will be carried out with Mass-start. 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. Please note that no participants will be allowed to enter the staring area until 20 minutes before start, as we wish to avoid crowds.

Exceptions to this apply to starting groups 1A, 1B and 1C that start at the same time, but at intervals between the groups. Then no other cyclists are in the starting area. Admission to the start area takes place 20 minutes before your start and closes 10 minutes before. Information signs clearly indicate when entry can take place. Starting in an earlier start group leads to automatic disqualification. Starting in a later group automatically causes time extensions that cannot be corrected. PLEASE NOTE that it is about 1.8 km from Lidingövallen to the start of Koltorp.

CHOOSE FOR YOURSELF IF YOU WANT LABELS FOR BAGGAGE AND CLOTHING

If you want a baggage or clothing submission label, print this in the Number Bib Distribution after you receive your number bib. You can hand in your baggage at Lidingövallen. The bag is collected in the same place after the race and storage is free of charge. Follow instructions.

Clothing bags can be handed in free of charge at the start. You will find them to the right of the start gate before you enter. Only TCS Lidingöloppet’s clothing bags may be used, given to you at the number bib handout. By ‘clothing’ we mean thinner training jacket, sweater and trousers. Close the bag and apply the label. Only clothing bags, and no baggage may be placed in the trolley at the start. Clothing delivery takes place after the finish at Grönsta Gärde on presentation of a number bib. It is not allowed to leave valuables in the clothing bag. For valuable management, see ”Good to Know” later in this startup magazine.

DURING THE RACE

COURSE MARKING

To find your way on the course, there are tapes and signs that show that you are on the right trail. In essence, the track follows TCS Lidingöloppet’s blue/white/blue 30K signs. However, the course differs from these on a number of occasions. This is well marked. There are also km markings that tell you how far you have to go to the finish. Large red flags refer to 30K.

REFRESHMENTS

Along the course, drinks and snacks are served in various forms, e.g. Sports Drink from Enervit:

Refreshments 1: at Fågelödde (17 km): Water, Enervit, Pickles, Bananas, Gifflar Refreshments 2: at the finish line: Water, Enervit, Coffee, Gifflar, Pickles, Bananas

AFTER THE RACE

MEDALS

Lidingöloppet’s MTB medal is awarded to everyone who completes the race. Places 1 – 3 are awarded gold, silver and bronze medals respectively.

PRIZES

The award ceremony for the top three in each class, men and women, takes place at the podium directly adjacent to the finish tent. Since we do not want to gather people due to the pandemic, this year we have chosen not to have a stage.
