BEFORE THE RACE

START INFORMATION & NUMBER BIB

All registered participants receive their Start Information only via e-mail. The Start Info contains the participant’s personal QR code. To collect your number bib, bring your personal QR code to the number bib distribution at Lidingövallen. At the distribution site, you scan your personal QR code and your number bib is printed. You can also find your QR code on My Pages. The number bib distribution is at Lidingövallen, in connection with the TCS Lidingöloppet fair. Opening hours in the number distribution: Friday 23/9 at 09:00–21:00 and Saturday 24/9 at 07:30–15:00. We recommend that you collect your number bib no later than 90 minutes before the start. Keep in mind that there are many people who will collect their number bib at the same time and we want to avoid congestion. If you have the opportunity, we recommend collecting the number bib the day before the race.

BAG DROP

You hand in your bag at Lidingövallen. It can be transported to the finish for SEK 40. The bag can also be left at Lidingövallen free of charge. No bag drop, but only hand-in of warm-up clothes, is offered at the start at Koltorp. Follow instructions on-site. For valuables management, see ”Good to know” later in this starter magazine.

CHOOSE IF YOU WANT LABELS FOR BAGS

If you want a label for your bag or clothing submission, print this in the number bib distribution after you have received your number bib.

CLOTHING

Clothing bags can be handed in free-of-charge at the start. You can find the submission to the right of the starting gate. Only TCS Lidingöloppet’s bags may be used. You will receive them at the number bib distribution. Clothing in this case refers to a thinner training jacket, sweater and trousers. Close the bag and attach the label. Only clothing bags, no larger bags, may be placed in the trolley. Clothes are issued back after the finish line at Grönsta on presentation of a number bib. It is not permitted to leave valuables in the clothing bag.

WARM UP

Ving leads the warm-ups for all races. The warm-up starts 15 minutes before each start.

THE START

The start is from Koltorp. Your starting group and exact starting time is listed on the number bib, among other things. The timing chip is on the back of the number bib. Admission takes place 20 minutes before your start and closes 10 minutes before. Information signs tell you when admission takes place. Starting in an earlier starting group means automatic disqualification. Starting in a later group results in automatic time addition that cannot be corrected. Please note that it is about 1.8 km from Lidingövallen to the start of Koltorp.

DURING THE RACE

LANE MARKING

To find your way on the course, there are tapes and signs that show you are on the right route. There are also kilometer markers that tell you how far you have left to the finish line. Green, large flags refer to 30 km.

ROAD CROSSINGS

Sluicing of runners occurs at certain road crossings to allow traffic to pass. Follow the officials’ instructions!

REFRESHMENT POINTS

TCS TRAIL

During the race, participants in the TCS Lidingöloppet 15km can get their own, personal film that immortalizes the performance, by running through TCS’s passage ”TCS Trail”. The film is sent out to participants via e-mail after the finish line. Participants who do not want to be seen in the film clips can easily run to the side of the passage.

AFTER THE RACE

MEDAL

TCS Lidingöloppet’s medal in bronze is awarded to everyone who completes the race. If you think you have run in a silver medal time and start in start group 2 or higher, go to the results tent at Grönsta after the finish. In start group 1, the silver medal is awarded at the finish. There, your exact competition time is checked and the bronze medal is exchanged for a silver medal if you are under the time. You can find the medal times at www.tcslidingoloppet.se.

Award ceremony for the top six in each class in M15 and W15 takes place on the stage directly adjacent to the finish tent. In other classes, prizes are awarded for the top three in the respective class at the podium. Please note that the prizes must be picked up on site, they will not be sent out afterwards.
