Kistaloppet is the area's largest exercise race that attracts thousands of runners every year.
The route starts at Grönlandsparken, at the corner of Kistagången/Grönlandsgatan
Take Grönlandsgatan straight forward and then turn Kistavägen right. Cross Isafjordsgatan and then turn left. Follow the road under Hanstavägen and the turn left into Igelbäcksgatan. Take Jellingegatan right and then left. Follow the path and then take right into Svanekegränd.
Take left when you reach Själlandsgatan and follow the street for about 400 meters. Keep on straight forward passing Ärvinge bolllplan on your left side and Igelbäcksskolan on your right side. Take Jyllandsgatan left and follow the street for about 500 meters and then take left and then Järva Cykelled right. Follow the road and the turn right over the bridge Oddebron.
Take Kista Alleväg right and follow the road for 600 meters. Cross Borgarfjordsgatan and then take Grönlandsgången all the way to the starting point.
The start and finish differ by approximately 200 meters from Kistaloppet's original route. Note that the route passes over some road crossings. Be observant, safety first.
The track runs through the residential areas of old Kista. Contrary to general perception, Kista was not built during The Million Programme – which was a large public housing program implemented in Sweden between 1965 and 1974 by the Social Democratic Party to ensure the availability of affordable, high quality housing to all Swedish citizens. Instead Kista is the typical example of the ABC city where residents would be close between work, home and downtown. Enjoy!
