Consideration on the course

There will be a lot of activity on the course since several running races run at the same time. With a mix of recreational and elite runners it is especially important that all participants work together. The race management requests that all runners keep to the right and go to the left when overtaking.

Course information

The ground surface consists of everything from gravel roads and asphalt. There are some technical sections mostly at the beginning of the race. The course can be regarded as moderately hilly in the first part, while the last 19 kilometres of the course offer flat and fast terrain. Trailvasan 30 runs on 29 km of forest road and 1 km of asphalt.
