PACE EVENT

"Långlöparnas Kväll" at Stockholm Stadium was an evening filled with inspiration, joy and fantastic performances. Running on the track, and especially at the historic Stockholm Olympic Stadium, is an experience that is hard to beat.

The stadium breathes sports history and being able to compete in the same place as so many legendary athletes throughout the ages creates a unique atmosphere that pushes the runners to run fast.

The evening featured six heats where the runners took on the tough challenge of running 10,000 meters. The results speak for themselves:

An incredible 92 personal bests and 43 season bests were achieved, meaning 98% of all runners set either personal bests or season bests. It's a performance that really shows the inspiring and encouraging atmosphere that marked the evening.

YMR Track Club was the main partner of the races and added to the great atmosphere with a DJ on site keeping the energy high. In addition, each heat had dedicated pacers to help runners maintain a steady pace and reach their goals.

The pacers were all dressed in a stylish outfit from us in the form of Bäckaryd Singlet Navy, Utö Shorts Burgundy and Åsunden Compression Socks.

Stockholm Stadion is not just an arena, it is a place where dreams come true and where every runner can feel the wings of history in every step. The magical evening at the Stadium showed that with the right atmosphere, support and a fantastic track, everyone can achieve their goals and even surpass them.

"Långlöparnas Kväll" was a testament to the power of community, passion and determination, and we're already looking forward to next year's edition.

On August 27 it's time again and then we run the ”Sommarspelen" in the same arena and then there is 5000m on the program. See you there?
