Arena Run

Events / Arena Run

Join the action in Stockholm as the home of the Swedish football national team is transformed into a giant obstacle course. On February 9th &10th, Scandinavia’s biggest stadium, Friends Arena, will once again host the challenging Arena Run.

This series of unique races and events is for both elite runners and those just looking for some fun activities with friends or family.

You’ll get adrenaline-pumping action over six floors, while jumping through car tires, fighting through a sea of foamy bricks and climbing over towers built to slow you down. It’s a battle bathed in light effects and accompanied by the beats of a live DJ.

Protected from the Swedish winter temperatures beneath a retractable roof, the Arena Run sees thousands of participants compete in different categories, from elite runners to teams of 4–6 members, family teams, plus mini runners starting from two years old.

You can race for the title or your own personal record in the 5-kilometre race, or opt for the easier 2-kilometre family-friendly alternative.
