Set within Sweden's Höga Kusten World Heritage site, this trail running festival spans two days and offers five distinct distances ranging from 14 to 60 kilometers. The event takes runners through some of the High Coast's most dramatic peaks and coastal landscapes, combining the region's unique geological features with the inclusive spirit of Swedish trail running culture. More than just a race series, Höga Kusten Trail creates a weekend-long celebration of outdoor adventure. The event welcomes runners of all abilities, encouraging participants to combine hiking, jogging, and running based on their comfort level. With gear exhibitions from outdoor companies like Icebug and Haglöfs, pre-race briefings, and festive after-trail celebrations, the weekend emphasizes community and shared experience in one of Sweden's most spectacular natural settings. The races traverse the distinctive granite peaks and coastal terrain that earned Höga Kusten its UNESCO World Heritage designation. FriluftsByn serves as the event base, providing easy access to the trail network while offering participants and their families a chance to explore more of this remarkable landscape during their visit.
