About This Race

The 53-kilometer distance strikes an ideal balance for runners seeking a substantial challenge without the extreme demands of the longer ultras. This mid-range option allows runners to experience the full character of Kullaberg's varied terrain—from technical rocky sections to flowing forest trails—while maintaining a pace that lets them appreciate the dramatic coastal scenery. Perfect for runners stepping up from marathons or those wanting a solid ultra experience with manageable recovery time, the 53K offers 3 Running Stones and serves as an excellent proving ground for longer UTMB World Series events.

Notable Features

This UTMB World Series event combines Sweden's dramatic coastal landscapes with challenging terrain that ranges from rocky mountain paths to serene beechwood forests. The race celebrates local folklore while offering international runners a unique Nordic trail running experience with courses that showcase the wild beauty of the Kullaberg peninsula.
