Bauhausgalan

Bauhausgalan, also written as BAUHAUS-galan and formerly known as DN-Galan, is an annual international athletics meeting held at the Olympic Stadium in Stockholm. It used to be one of the five IAAF Super Grand Prix events until 2010, and since then, it has been part of the Diamond League circuit. The event began in 1967.

For many years, it was called DN-Galan, but in 2015, it was renamed Bauhausgalan after a title sponsor deal with the DIY company Bauhaus. This change happened during a time when the organizers were facing money problems.

Since the first race in 1967, the Dicksonpokalen (Dickson Trophy) has been given to the winner of the men’s 1500 metres or mile run at the competition.

History

After the 2019 season ended, the Bauhausgalan was announced to be leaving the professional Diamond League circuit of one-day meets. However, it was later invited back and included in the Diamond League's schedule for 2020.
