Broloppet Motala, live.

Two laps to Motalabron

A town race in Motala that is back in the centre: start and finish at Hamnparkeringen and Stadsparken, and a course that runs out toward the Motalabron bridge and back.

Broloppet Motala is run on Saturday 3 October 2026 on what the organisers call the old-new course, with the start and finish at Hamnparkeringen and Stadsparken. The 10 km runs two laps out toward Motalabron and back, the 5 km one lap. Both start at 13:00, and on the first lap the 10 km runners have a lane of their own. There is water at the bridge, about three kilometres out, and at the lap point. The 5 km is just as open to joggers and walkers.

The day starts earlier for the youngest. The 400-metre kids’ race goes round Stadsparken at 11:30, for children up to eight, and parents may run alongside. The 1.5-kilometre youth race starts at 12:05 at Hamnparkeringen and follows Vätternpromenaden to Motalabron and back, for young runners up to eleven. Everyone gets the race medal and T-shirt, the 10 km and 5 km are chip-timed, and the prize-giving for both is at 14:30 on the stage in Stadsparken. The race is organised by Motala AIF Friidrott.

A two-lap course means that whoever stands in Stadsparken sees the 10 km runners twice — but not what happens in between. With Livebib the runner shares a link to their own broadcast, and family and friends open it in a browser, with no account and no app. They see where on the course line the runner is, how far she has come, and a finish estimate that updates during the race. Anything computed is marked as estimated, never as measured, and the runner decides who gets the link.
