Kistaloppet

Kistaloppet is a family-friendly city-based running event organized by Löparakademin with races for all ages: Kistaloppet 5 km, Lilla Kistaloppet/Fun Run 1.6 km, and Kistaloppet MINI for the youngest participants. The courses offer a varied running experience through the high-rise buildings of the Million Programme, the green areas of Järvafältet, and Kista's IT cluster, with start and finish at Jan Stenbecks torg near Kista Galleria. The event emphasizes accessibility and community (including the #RUN4ZERO initiative) and is designed for both recreational runners and those who want to compete on the controlled 5 km course. The event is usually complemented by music, entertainment, and a festival atmosphere along the route.
