6 sjöar

6 Lakes is a volunteer-run running event held on 15 August 2026, starting and finishing at Fjällnora Outdoor Recreation Centre outside Uppsala. Choose from a marathon (42 km around six lakes), a half marathon (21 km around four lakes), 10.3 km, or a shorter 5.5 km route around Lake Ramsen. All routes are well marked and feature a mix of forest trails and gravel roads. The event is environmentally conscious, with few disposable cups and the option of a reusable cup or Hydrapouch, and offers a free direct bus from Uppsala Travel Centre. It is a nature-focused race where a swim along the route may be possible in warm weather. Staggered start times let family and friends run different distances at the same time.

Start and finish at Fjällnora Outdoor Recreation Centre. Start times: Marathon 10:00, Half Marathon 10:30, 10 km 11:00, 5 km 11:30. Race bibs can be collected at Uppsala Travel Centre on the Thursday or Friday before the event, from 11:00 to 19:00, or at the venue no later than 30 minutes before the start. Free direct buses from Uppsala Travel Centre use fossil-free fuel; the organiser will publish information and a timetable. The event avoids disposable cups: bring your own bottle or get a free reusable cup/Hydrapouch. Free T-shirts are not provided, but one can be purchased after the finish. The event is run by volunteers. For questions, contact info@6sjoar.se; a phone number for registration enquiries is listed on the contact page.
