Training Sessions
Training sessions will be organized before the race. These will be announced continuously on the Kraftprovet website and the Kraftprovet Facebook page.

Start and Finish
The start and finish areas are located at Kraftprovet Arena at Hansenplatsen in Trollhättan, in the heart of the waterfall area by the Göta River. The area is easily accessible for both runners and spectators.

We ask accompanying adults to line up at the rear of the Knatteprovet field. Participants in Kraftprovet should position themselves in the starting corral according to the pacemakers for their expected finish time.

Parking
Parking is available at Folkets Park, Oden, University West (Högskolan Väst), Innovatum, and Slättbergsbanan. No parking is available at the start and finish area.

Late Registration
Late registration can be completed digitally on race day through the regular registration system up to approximately one hour before each race start. Assistance is available at the information tent/race bib distribution area.

Please note: Participant limit of 3,000 runners – register early!

Elite Information
For seeding into the elite start group for the Kraftprovet 11.6 km race, qualifying performances must be submitted during registration. Only results from previous editions of Kraftprovet or other 10 km races will be considered. Any questions regarding the elite field or seeding should be directed to the Elite Coordinator at elit@kraftprovet.se.

Seeded runners will start at the front of the starting field and will receive a special race bib. Race bibs can be collected from the Elite Information Tent. Please refer to the event site map.

Elite runners may change in the Elite Tent, located behind the Elite Information Tent. Please refer to the event site map. Personal belongings may be stored there; however, the organizers accept no responsibility for valuables.

Please note: Elite runners compete under the same rules as all other participants. This means that personal assistance—such as having a coach or support person cycling alongside athletes on the course—is prohibited for safety and fair play reasons. Only race officials and individuals specifically authorized by the organizers are permitted on the course. Failure to comply with this rule may result in disqualification.

Personal water handoffs are permitted, provided that the coach remains stationary when handing over the water.

Race Bib Collection
Race bibs can be collected at the start and finish area at Hansenplatsen. Distribution opens on race day at 10:00 and closes 30 minutes before each race start.

The race bib contains the timing chip and must be worn unfolded on the chest. Don’t forget to pick up safety pins.

• Elite Start Group: Yellow race bib (upgrading to the elite group may be arranged at the information tent during bib collection).
• Dubbelprovet: Pink race bib, the same bib is used for both Slussprovet and Kraftprovet (if you received two regular bibs, exchange them for one pink bib at bib collection).

We recommend arriving early to avoid queues.

T-shirt Collection
T-shirts can be collected at the race bib distribution/information tent if you registered by 15 May. Uncollected T-shirts remain the property of the organizer.

Changing Facilities and Showers
Changing rooms and showers are available at Arena Älvhögsborg.

Bag Storage
Unsupervised bag storage is available at the arena near the start and finish area. Bags are left entirely at the participant’s own risk.
