100 MILES | 2290M+

Tjörnarparen is a small village in the beautiful “middle Skåne” forests. We run in big forest, over volcanoes, on footpaths, flaps in mud and sprints along singletrack trails.

There are four ultradistanser to choose from, 50 km, 50 miles, 100 km and 100 miles. 50k & 50 miles-the runners run their tracks from A til B. 100k & 100 miles-the runners make two laps. Start and finish is in Tjörnarp.

The organization of the Tjörnarparen – Trail Ultra describes the track of the race as following: The course runs in challenging and biting technical terrain, to large parts along the Skåneleden trail but also on completely unpaved stretches.

Accumulated elevation is about 750 meters/lap of the original track (50 km & 100 km) and 1145 meters/lap for (50 miles & 100 miles). 50 km runs one lap of the original track, 100 km two laps. 80 miles runs a lap of the extended (TL2) track and 100 miles two laps.

Most of the run is on “Singeltrack” and Forest Road but also shorter stretches in unpaved terrain. They have put a lot of care into the marking of the course in the best way, but is was still recommend for every runner to have a digital version on the phone or watch.

In Kilian’s own words: “Saturday run was a long one. I took part of #Tjörnarparen ultra in Skåne. It was fun to run and discover this part of Sweden and its strong trail community and to enjoy the beautiful landscapes, the huge variety of trails and a great organisation with very friendly ambiance! Thanks to all the organizers for all that. It was also an opportunity for me to test things before the summer.”
