Kick sledge competition
This year kick sledge competition gathered 32 participants. Winner was Oskar Egnell with Samuel Lindkvist on second place.

Some history of the Kick sledge competition.
In
1974 at the merge of Holmöns Kommun and Umeå Kommun, all citizens was offered semlor. Umeås Culture Board continued this tradition for some years and in collaboration with Skid- och friluftsfrämjandet (Ski and Outdoor Association). Torch Slalom e t c was arranged in the different parts of Umeå. This was not possible on Holmön and the idea of a Kick Sledge Competition was evolved. The local Red Cross Circle took up the idea and has since 1985 kept this tradition alive.

The largest number of participants so far has been 50, which was in 1996. At that race 4 L of blueberry soup, 120 semlor (a special Swedish cream bun eaten in the Lent), 20 L of coffee was consumed and six raffles with 100 tickets to support the Red Cross was sold. In 2005 Lars Brakander came first on the record time of 9 min 20 seconds. Lars brother John came second at the time 10.50, with Oscar Egnell at 11 min sharp in third place. Most first places (at own force) has John Brakander. Han has been first 3 times. The oldest participant so far has been Karl-August Holmgren who, in 2003, participated at an age 79 years old. The youngest participants so far has been the twins Fanny and Nelly Nygren who were 1 month old when they participated for the first time in 2001 (lying in a baby box, mounted on the kick sledge, and with their father kicking the sledge).
