  • We will mix it according to the following recommendation.

    Tommy at Umara:
    "I recommend 9% which is our recommended strength. So, there will be 9g of carbs per 100ml to ensure that the runners will get the energy that they need. We can mix it stronger but that will increase the risk for stomach problems and if we mix it easier and make like 6-6,5% it might get to much water for them when it’s that cold. Especially during the night."

  • There is the option of a drop bag for the 100 miles and 105 km runners. Drop bags & finisher line bags must be taken to the start, MARKED WITH YOUR RACE NUMBER AND NAME and we will transport them from there to the respective drop bag and finish areas.
    100 miles Tystberga, Tyrsvallen after XX km.

    105 km Nils Oscar Bryggeri after XX km.

    The 55 km & 21 km have no drop bag option.

    (final distances coming soon!)

  • Blister plasters, dressings, bandages, and tape to secure dressing as a minimum requirement.

    We also recommend Vaseline, paracetamol, and antihistamine.

    There are medics at the checkpoints, but ask yourself, what are the circumstances that could arise on the route and what would you need to resolve it?

  • Make sure you are wearing appropriate footwear for the race as well as comfortable running clothes. Make sure you check the Mandatory Kit list for each distance and ensure you are wearing or carrying everything on the list.

  • Full route information will be contained in a GPX file and within the race booklet which will be available in the week leading up to race start.

    The GPX-file can be downloaded on the race page.

  • Yes, poles are permitted.

  • The route of the 100 miles follows Sörmlandsleden for around 120 km and a section in the middle on Eriksgata.

    The 105 km is around 85 km on Sörmlandsleden

    The 50 km is 85% on Sörmlandsleden with a shorter section on the Ryssberget trail network

    We will be marking the course but mainly at major crossings and putting up reflex markers on the sections that will, potentially, ran in the dark. Also, all runners will get a gpx file.

    Runners of the 100 mile, 105 km & 55 km will get a route map

    I’m not great at navigation and whilst out recceing the route found it an easy course to follow. But I understand that navigation is very relative!

    The 22 km is fully marked, and on Sörmlandsleden.

    The 8 km and 8 km Night Trail is fully marked, and on Sörmlandsleden.

  • The 100 mile route is mainly single-track trail, wider farm trails and gravel roads with some sections of asphalt. Mainly following a network of pre-marked trails, Sörmlandsleden & Eriksgata.

    The 105 km route is wider farm trails, single-track trail and gravel roads with some sections of asphalt. Mainly following a network of pre-marked trails, Sörmlandsleden.

    The 50 km route is mainly single-track trail, wider farm trails and gravel roads with some sections of asphalt, following Sörmlandsleden.

    The 22 km route is single-track trail with some sections of gravel, following Sörmlandsleden.

    The 8 km routes are completely on single-track trail following Sörmlandsleden.

  • We hope to have a high finishers rate for all of our races, there are volunteers at all manned aid stations who are there to encourage you to keep going and perservere even when things get hard.

    If you feel you need to drop out at any point in the race you must inform the nearest aid station of your decision and if running the 100 miles or 100 km you need to hand over your GPS tracker. A fee will be charged for any unaccounted trackers.

    We will arrange for travel from aid stations to the race centre at Jogersö, if you drop out but bare in mind this my be after the last cut off time so you may be waiting a considerable time before getting a ride back.

  • That is a very subjective question, but I would recommned any 100 miler as your first as long as you really want to do it. Gathering points for future races alone is not going to get you to the finish line of any 100 mile race. No 100 mile footrace is easy and the regular variation between techinal single track and wider more forgiving trails of our 100 mile course will certainly give your legs, and brain, something to reckon with over the hours you are out on the course.

  • Toilets are available at Erikslund, Tyrsvallen, Söra and Nils Oscar.

  • Here’s a few options

  • Yes, we allow pacers for the 100 miles & 105 km. From Nävsjön you can have a pacer for the last part of the race.

    It’s a little tricky to get there but that last 40 km of the route is largely inaccessable area with public transport.

    On this section a large amount of the runners will be coming into their second night at that point, so as a little extra security for those who are insecure, we thought it could be appreciated.

    There is a small fee to cover the administration, race bib and food at the aid stations for pacers, most importantly so we know who has pacers and how many people are out on the course.

  • While support is not essential, it is permitted at the aid stations only. Athletes may not receive support along the route.

    Support is absolutely forbidden at Penningby and Förola!
    At landowners request. The stations are on private land. Support and crowds at these stations can potentially risk the future of the race, so we insist that you do not go there.

  • No, you do not earn any stones by running our races, the only race in Sweden that gives stones is Kullamannen by UTMB, otherwise any race with by UTMB at the end of the name is where you can collect stones to run in Chamonix.

    We are registered as a UTMB index race, you need a UTMB index to sign up for a “by UTMB” race.

    It’s a rather complicated system, but the Ironman/UTMB organisation seem to be doing very well from it!

  • That is a good question! 

    Currently our youngest half marathon runner has been 14, this year we do have a 12 year old signed up. 

    But we look at each individual situation. 

    For the half marathon, if the parents/guardians are fine with it and the child wanting to run has plenty of experience we don't see much reason why they shouldn't run.

    For the ultra distances we would need that any runner under 18 has extra support along the route incase of the need to drop out. Any further questions please mail info@sormlands100.com
