Run 26.7 km handicap fun run across the natural beauty of Skaraborg, and admire the amazing Schlätta beauty and all it has to offer. The route is primarily gravel through farm land and long segments in forest. Traffic on this route is very limited. Runners are advised to not wear earphones.
Race Format - Handicap
The run uses a handicap format based on each runner’s Strava half-marathon performance prediction. Start times begin from 9:30 a.m., with the slower runners starting first and the faster ones, going later. Every runner will have their own start time. The handicap format is designed to bring the field together over the final kilometres and also means that every runner has a chance to win. The course will be marked on roads and trees, and a Strava route will also be available.
The start line and finish line are not the same.
Please bring a bag to the start line that event staff can take to the finish, which is 1.5km away from the start. At the end of the race your bag will be there and you will be able to be driven to the start or back into Skara.
A fuel station around halfway will have:
1. Free Gels from Umara
2. Coffee
3. Water
4. Pumping Tunes
5. Photographer so you can see yourself later
Prizes: There will be cash prizes on the day for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and Best Competitor
Lunch: We will have a lunch complete with photos and videos from the day at 1pm.
Directions: Head to Naturbruksskolan Uddetorp
