Lidingöloppet presents: This year's medal motif

The 2022 TCS Lidingöloppet medal, which all participants receive at the finish line, shows Carl Milles' statue "Forest God with Three Ravens" (ca. 1875 - 1955). The work depicts the natural mysticism which was a recurring theme for the artist. The idea that there is a spirituality in all living things grows more and more prevalent during Carl Milles' lifetime. In his work, magical beings such as centaurs, naiads, nymphs and forest gods thus populate the lakes and roam the forests.

TCS Lidingöloppet hopes that the natural forces will give this year's participants a magical experience on meadows and forest trails during this year's race events!
