Lidingö, live.

Thirty kilometres over Lidingö’s trails

The world’s largest cross-country race weaves through pine forests and coastal tracks, crowned by the legendary Abborrbacken climb.

Lidingöloppet is the undisputed crown jewel of Scandinavian cross-country running and an essential cornerstone of En Svensk Klassiker. The 30-kilometre main course sets off from the sweeping start meadow at Koltorps gärde, immersing runners in continuous rolling hills, soft forest tracks, exposed roots and gravel corridors across northern Lidingö. The constant undulating terrain steadily drains the legs over 522 metres of cumulative vertical ascent.

The defining crux arrives deep in the final third at kilometer 25: the notorious Abborrbacken, rising steeply over 48 vertical metres to punish fatigued runners, shortly followed by the sharp sting of Karins backe. On Livebib, supporters and clubs can follow every kilometer in real time: live GPS runner position, split paces across intermediate timing mats, and accurate arrival estimates for the jubilant finish line at Grönsta gärde.
