Ältasjön Runt 2026

Ältasjön Runt is a family-friendly running race organized by Älta IF, typically held on the last Saturday of April (2026: 25/4). The race offers several distances for all ages - from 850 meters for the youngest to 13.4 km for those who want to run two laps around the lake. The goal is a local festival with a carnival atmosphere at Älta IP where both experienced runners, casual participants, and children should enjoy themselves. Many participants return year after year, which the organizing committee sees as a sign of a pleasant event.
