Ottarsloppet is a multi-distance running event based in Gryttby, in the Uppsala region of Sweden, with races spread across a long window from 13 May to 25 September 2027. Runners can choose between 5 km, 9 km, 15 km, 23 km, 46 km and 69 km, and the 9 km race is run at night, so part of the programme takes place in darkness. The same weekend programme also includes a three-lap mountain bike event, which makes the gathering a broader outdoor festival rather than a single race. Start times, entry fees and course details are published and updated on the organiser's own website, and entrants should confirm the exact date of their chosen distance there before travelling.

Ottarsloppet takes place in Gryttby, in the Uppsala region of Sweden, with the start and finish areas in the village surroundings.
Accommodation is available in Uppsala and in the surrounding countryside. Book early if you are running an ultra, since you will want to be close to the start on race morning.
Spectators are welcome at the start and finish area in Gryttby. Access to points out on the course depends on the route and on local conditions, so ask the organiser for the best viewing spots.
