Saturday - November 22, 2014
The northern link of a massive tunnel construction project in Stockholm is ready to open on November 30, 2014. Before opening my friend, Nancy J. and I along with 42,000+ people had the chance of a lifetime to run the first 10k Tunnel Run. An incredibly well run event!
- staggered start times - every 10 minutes 3,000 people would start the race
- no bib numbers, electronic chips attached to running shoes clocked running time
- bands, drums, djs and a military band entertained along the way
- permanent tunnel artwork installations are beautiful (a huge metal tree sculpture, large metal butterfly sculptures, etc.)
- temporary light displays and a winter scene were very fun
- water breaks and a glögg (mulled wine )and pepparkaka (gingerbread cookies) break along the course
- goody bags at the end with a medallion, kex candy bar and drinks
