Welcome to the international Linnémarschen Walk 2014. Welcome to a weekend of fitness, friendship and fun hosted for the 38th consecutive year by sports clubs Hestra IF and IK Ymer.

Linnémarschen – Sweden's largest walking event!
Welcome to Linnémarschen 2014
We are proud to organise the 38th Linnémarschen - a delightful walk through beautiful and varied countryside.
It is the largest organised walk in Sweden and an annual event for everyone who enjoys being out and about in the countryside. Discover the many, beautiful views around Borås, western Sweden's second largest city.
Linnémarschen is the only Swedish walking event to be a member of the international IML Walking Association, which holds organised walking events around the globe. To become an "International Walker", you have to walk on both days, up to 21 km a day.
If you have decided it's time to start exercising, you might like to try our shorter 10.5 km circuits. If you're a seasoned walker or like a challenge, our tough 42 km Marathon Walk might be for you.
Our exciting Adventure Walk is great for younger walkers and their families.
Welcome to this year's Linnémarsch!
Carl Linnaeus (1707 - 1778) Internationally, Linnaeus is perhaps Sweden's most famous person. As he travelled around the countryside, he made detailed notes of the flora, fauna and geology.
Linnaeus visited Borås in 1746 and was impressed by the richness of the landscape. He called the Rya Åsar hills the "Alps of Västra Götaland". This area is now a nature reserve and much of the Walk leads through its beautiful countryside.
The Linnémarschen Walk is a great way to enjoy a day of healthy activity with friends in beautiful natural surroundings.

SUNDAY 27TH APRIL21 km Rya Åsar
Starts between 8 and 10 a.m. Official mass start at 8 a.m. Walking time: 3.5 to 5 hours. Sunday's 21 km route through the Rya Åsar nature reserve is a challenging walk that exercises mind and body. The first section is very hilly, so it's a good idea to take it easy in the beginning. Once you reach the top, you are rewarded with an amazing view from Ryssby Klint. The walk then leads you past Ryssby pond, Hestrastugan, Sjögården and Hästhagen. Continue to Ramshulan via Almenäs and below the scree slopes on Rya Åsar, through Björbo's meadows of wood anemone to the finish in Borås Arena.
This walk is part of the Borås Classic.
10.5 km ViskanStarts between 8 and 10 a.m. Official mass start at 8 a.m. Walking time: 1.5 to 2.5 hours. The 10.5 km Viskan walk is flatter and follows beautiful paths along the river Viskan to the boardwalk at Almenäs. The last stage passes through Björbo's beautiful meadows to the finish in Borås Arena. A perfect walk to get you started!
Part of the get-started classic.

21 km Kype-YmerStarts between 8 and 9 a.m. Official mass start at 8 a.m.Walking time: 3.5 to 5 hours.
