Karlstad 6-timmars - Marathon / 6 hours

The next edition takes place on Saturday 20 February 2027 in Råtorp, Värmland, Sweden.

Everyone starts together and runs or walks for six hours, and the distance covered is the result. You can stop whenever you like, but the clock keeps running until the six hours are up. The event lists 42 kilometres, a marathon, as its reference distance.

The organiser's own website is the definitive source. Dates, start times and course details can change, so confirm them on ifgota.se before you travel.

February in Värmland is typically cold, with temperatures often below freezing and a real chance of snow or ice on the ground. Plan for winter conditions and dress in layers you can adjust once you are moving.

Bring footwear that suits cold, possibly snowy or icy surfaces, and consider something with grip if conditions are wintry. Studded or heavily treaded shoes can help on packed snow and ice.
