In February, this year's raft registration begins for the RIver Rafting 2025. Both members within UTN and non-members can apply to be part of the raffle and have the chance to win their own raft. To register, follow this link to the registration page.

Do you want to help us during the River Rafting or during our festival?  Then you can apply to become a volunteer! There is a lot of different volunteer positions you can apply for. Click HERE to read more about the different positions and HERE to apply.

Did you not get a raft in the first raffle? Then you get a new chance! The doors to Uthgård open at 17.30 and the rafting commitee will serve food and drinks. New rafts will be drawn all night and there will be entertainment between the drawings.

The rafters education is a good thing to attend, so good that it is even compulsory for all rafters. The training will be held on two occasions, one in Swedish and one in English. During the Guttering Training you will meet Forskå and get important information.
‍
The rafters education will take place on Sunday, April 6th in the Eva von Bahr Hall (Å100195) at the Ångström Laboratory.

The rafters education will be held twice, one starting at 14.00 and one starting at 16.00. We will email you the time you should attend.

In the unlikely event that you cannot attend, you must notify SÄK via sak@forsranningen.utn.se no later than March 30th or as soon as possible if the absence is due to illness.

As a volunteer you have to attend the volunteer education. It will be held in swedish March 8 and in english March 9. You decide which one you want to attend.

The highlight of the year opens 19/4 and continues in full swing all the way to 26/4! The River Festival offers fun activities, raft building, parties, live performances and great food and drink!

The Construction Site at Forsfestivalen is the place where the running begins. In the organized chaos of the construction site, you can witness runners from all corners of Uppsala building their crazy creations. These will then carry the gutters down for the merciless water that rushes into everyone's spring Fyrisån. The construction site is right next to the Ångström laboratory and is open for everyone to visit during the River festival days.

This magical and fun-filled day is aimed primarily towards children and families with children. Lots of fun activities will be organized to spread joy to all visitors. The financial surplus on this day will also be donated to the Academic Hospital's children's fund in a way to help and spread joy to the children who cannot be part of the Duck Day.

The day before Valborg, it is time to move all rafts to the starting area. Rafters must show up on the construction site at the specified time and help with the raft transportation! Read more about the raft transport here.

On Valborg the 30 April it finally happens. BAM! The river rafting is the event which for all the rafts are built for and is, for those who do not know, when the rafts travel down the river Fyris. The rafts are set in to the river at 10:00 by Eddaspången and enters the goal after the Islandsfall.
