Nyårsloppet Ystad is a short and easy-going running event held in Ystad in Skåne on 31 December. Participants choose between two distances, 2.5 km and 5 km, which makes the race suitable for both recreational joggers and more experienced runners. The courses run through and around Ystad and offer a shared training goal to round off the year. The longer 5 km option lets runners set their own pace according to form and ambition, and the event suits anyone who wants to greet New Year's Eve with an active effort.

The race is put on by the local athletics club in Ystad, which also handles entries through its own website at friidrott.ystadsif.se.
Nothing is stated. On a 2.5 km or 5 km course most runners do not need a drink station, but carrying a small bottle is never a bad idea. Any post-race refreshments are usually announced closer to the day.
No weather policy is published. Swedish winter races normally go ahead in cold, rain or light snow unless the course becomes unsafe, and any cancellation would be announced by the organiser.
Transfer rules are not published. Contact the organiser if you cannot take part, as small club races often allow a name change free of charge.
