Romme travbana is a prominent mid-sized Swedish harness racing venue located just south of Borlänge, Dalarnas län. It hosts several major events each year and has a long history dating back to the 1950s. Below is a concise overview based on available information. What it is
- Romme travbana (Romme) is a thoroughbred-style harness racing venue in southern Borlänge, part of the Dalatravet collaboration with Rättvikstravet. The facility supports year-round racing and related activities.
Key features
- Track and equipment: The track length is 1000 meters with a 21.0 meter width depending on configuration; the venue includes standard open stretch options and a unique start vehicle setup described as a “vinklad startbilsvinge” (angled start car) in some contexts, which can influence starting positions.
- Location and access: Romme sits along the E70 corridor, about 7 kilometers southeast of Borlänge; reach is often described via the Rommetravet site’s directions and signs.
- Contact and administration: The Dalatravet organization lists Romme as an operating partner, with practical contact details and a web presence for event information.
Major events
- Rommetravet hosts high-profile events including Rommeheatet (mid-summer highlight for warmbloods) and the Svensk-Norska loppet (a long-running classic since the 1950s) and participates in the Triple Crown-style E3 series as a co-organizer. The venue also hosts the Midnight Race in midsummer.
Facilities and activities
- Beyond races, Romme provides training facilities, stallbacken (stable area), and educational/training activities through entities such as Travskolan Romme, which operates on-site at Romme.
- The racecourse and associated organizations emphasize heritage and ongoing community involvement within Swedish trotting sport.
