Medals through the ages

Crossing the finish line at the classic Grönsta Gärde is a very special feeling, and to then immediately receive the classic Lidingöloppet medal, each year with a unique motif from Carl Milles is almost even more thrilling. The medals have blue and white ribbons, as these are the colors of the Lidingöloppet's two owner clubs IFK Lidingö Friidrott and IFK Lidingö Ski and Orienteering Club. The exception is Rosa Bandet ribbon, which is pink and white.

A brief about Carl Milles;
Carl Emil Wilhelm Milles, born Andersson on June 23, 1875, in Lagga parish (now part of Knivsta municipality), died September 19, 1955, on Lidingö, was a Swedish sculptor. Carl Milles was mainly active in Europe, but also spent a long time in the USA. He is known for his fountains and other works in monumental scale. Read more about Carl Milles at www.millesgarden.se

Medal times through the ages

During the first five years, those who completed the race within the victory time plus 30 percent received IFK Lidingö's bronze plaque with 'Lidingöloppet' in relief. In 1969, the medal time was as good as 2:12:33, which 316 men achieved, and thereafter the medal time was set to 2:15:00 regardless of what the victory time was.

From 1976, everyone who finished in under 2 hours and 15 minutes received a medal, and the plaque was replaced with a silver medal.

When the number of female participants in the 30 km became so large that they too would receive a silver medal time, various comparisons were made, both in terms of comparative times between the women who ran 15 km (which until 2005 was the main event for women) and also the percentage of participants that should receive a silver medal.

Up until 1992, the silver medal time for the 30 km was 2:15 for women. From 1993 until 2000, the women's medal time was 2:35, which was then changed to 2:38 in 2001.

The women's silver medal time for the 15 km was then, as it is now, 1:15.
