This year’s Tjejmilen Expo is in Westfield Mall of Scandinavia in Solna, with the following opening times:

• Monday 30 August 12:00-21:00
• Tuesday 31 August 10:00-21:00
• Wednesday 1 September 10:00-21:00
• Thursday 2 September 10:00-21:00
• Friday 3 September 10:00-21:00

Due to the Expo’s location, you must collect your number bib by 21:00 on Friday.  The Expo is not open on the day of the race – this is to ensure that everyone can collect their number bib and make it in time for the start on Gärdet.  If you are not able to get to the Expo, you can give your race registration to someone else who can collect your number bib. 

You will get safety pins together with your number bib, which must be worn on the chest and be fully visible during the race.

Last minute entries

Have you, or someone else you know, forgotten to enter? You can buy a start place at the Expo in Westfield Mall of Scandinavia. Go to the Information Desk and we will help you. Entry fee: 495 kr for the Fun Run and 545 kr for the Competition class. It is not possible to enter the race at the event area on Gärdet.

Changing start group
On your digital race registration which you will receive by email, you will see the start group you are placed in. If you want to change start group, this is possible subject to availability, but it can only be done at the Information Desk at the number bib distribution at the Expo. Changing to a later start group than the one you are registered in is always possible. If you want to move to an earlier start group, you will need to show a result which proves that you are qualified to move up. Start by collecting your number bib, then go to the Information Desk to make the change.  

IMPORTANT INFORMATION 

Infection control
It is extremely important that runners contribute to the prevention of infection at the event by: 

• Keeping a distance
• Washing hands and using hand sanitizer
• Staying home if you have symtoms of covid 19
• Only touching the mugs which you are drinking from at the water stations
• Listening to and following the instructions of officials and the announcer
• Not coming to Gärdet more than 30 minutes before your start time
• Leaving the finish area directly after you finish to make room for new runners

EVENT AREA

Due to the current  situation with the pandemic, we are trying to arrange everything as risk-free as possible and, of course, are following all the restrictions and guidelines. Therefore, the entire start and finish area will be fenced-off and only runners with the appropriate number bib will be allowed into the start area.

It is important that, directly after you finish, you leave the finish area to make room for more runners. The area will be marshalled by officials who will ensure that no unauthorised people come in and that everyone shows consideration in order to prevent infection.  For this reason, it is especially important to keep to allocated start times, and in this way we can still provide our runners with a wonderful experience.

Directions
The easiest way to get to the event area is to take the underground’s Red line towards Ropsten and get off at Karlaplan and then walk to Gärdet. For more information visit sl.se.

START

Warm-up
Nordic Wellness will provide an 80s-inspired warm-up for all runners in all start groups. The warm-up will begin 10 minutes before each start.

Timing

All runners in the Competition class will have their start time registered when they pass the start line.  In this way, everyone will get their ’real’ running time registered, ie the time from passing the start line to crossing the finish line.

We use Racetimer for timekeeping.  Times are recorded using a datachip which is attached to a tab at the top of the number bib. Don’t tear this tab off! For the timing to work, the tab should be folded out away from your body at an angle between 45 and 90 degrees. Avoid having your hands/arms in front of the upper part of the number bib – where the chip is located – when you pass the start and finish lines.  

On the reverse side of the number bib, write the name and telephone number of a friend/relative, and also information about medication you may be taking or illness you may have.  This will help our medical officers if you have problems during the race.

First start: 10:00 Tjejmilen Trail and 12:00 Tjejmilen – entry 30 mins before!


Tjejmilen starts on Lindarängsvägen. Tjejmilen has 9 start times.  Your start number is on your number bib. You can find your start time in the table below. The start area will open 30 minutes before your start time. There will be water in the start area in case you need to drink just before the start and you can also hand in clothing if you need to. To avoid crowding at the entrance to the start area, we request that you don’t arrive at Gärdet before the start area opens for your specific start time.
