From the jury at Friidrottsgalan
”Whether you run ultra, are an experienced trail runner or run your first kilometers, there is room for you at Jonas Eklöf in Fika sport club. The welcoming attitude has attracted over 200 members from different backgrounds and ages to find the joy of running together. Jonas has a tireless desire to share the desire to run and get the members to develop and arranges sessions every day of the week. During the sessions, which can include intervals as well as trail and nice long runs, everyone can participate and adapt to their level. You can give it your all in the intervals to take the next step in your running or join in and run because it’s nice. But Fika sport club is more than running, it is – as the name suggests – also a social community that binds the members together and creates a long-term perspective in the training.
Jonas Eklöf, together with his talented leaders and pacers, has created what the members call Sweden’s kindest running club, and no one could be more deserving of the Swedish Runners’ Prize 2024.”
