Sylvesterloppet Kalmar

Sylvesterloppet Kalmar is a running event held in the coastal city of Kalmar on 31 December, closing the calendar on New Year's Eve. Runners pick between 5 km and 10 km, so the day works equally well for a quick sprint and a longer end-of-year challenge. Both races start in the centre of Kalmar, which gives the event a local character among the city streets. It is a simple, low-key way to earn a finisher's feeling before the evening celebrations begin.
