The race filled with running, joy, play, and adventure. A 210-meter challenge for the very youngest!
Minivarvet:The race for all mini sprinters
Minivarvet is Sweden's largest children's race. Since it began, thousands upon thousands of children have taken part in Minivarvet. Some are happy with one lap, while others run the course several times. Minivarvet is all about running, joy, play and adventure. Through the race, we want to encourage an active lifestyle from an early age.
Minivarvet is for our youngest runners who are full of energy – children born in 2021 or later (the year they turn 6). Register your child online or buy a race entry on-site during race weekend! Together, we create memories for life.
You'll find the Minivarvet event area below Björngårdsvillan in Slottsskogen. See you on 22–23 May 2027!
The course:210 meters in Slottsskogen
The Minivarvet course is approximately 210 metres long, runs on grass and is marked on both sides to create a safe environment. For many of our youngest runners, Minivarvet is their first big running adventure. Of course, parents are welcome to run alongside their children – if you can keep up with them.
Registration for Minivarvet also includes Minivarvet Trail, a fun adventure for our youngest runners, with a slightly more challenging course through the Family Area. Our mini sprinters can run as many laps as their legs will carry them on both courses.
Get ready for fun:Family Area
A warm welcome to the Göteborgsvarvet Family Area on 22–23 May! The area is bursting with running joy, activities, entertainment and plenty of fun for the whole family.
You'll also get to meet someone who has been looking forward to seeing you. Our very own running troll, Varva, will be there to make the day extra memorable and cheer you on all the way to the finish line.
