Malkars Femman

About this event

Malkars Femman brings runners to the coastal city of Kalmar for a spirited 5km road race in late June. Set in one of Sweden's most historic towns, the course winds through streets steeped in medieval charm, with the Baltic Sea never far from view. The summer timing means long Scandinavian daylight and mild temperatures, perfect conditions for a fast, scenic run. While marked as non-beginner-friendly despite the short distance, the race likely attracts a competitive field looking to test their speed. It's a chance to experience Swedish running culture in a beautiful coastal setting, where cobblestones meet waterfront views.
