Experience the ultimate A+ 100 Mil race. Progress through 15 magnificent nature reserves and two mountains. Despite the terrain being relatively flat, this race is extremely challenging. Starting point Höganäs, followed by prologue to Mölle and the legendary Kullaberg; here is where the powerful Kullamannen legend was born.

Course map and elevation profile
What the weather is usually like here
- Over the last 5 years this week typically ran 9°C to 12°C here, with a high of 17°C and a low of 5°C.
- 49% of those days saw rain. A real forecast lands about two weeks out and will appear here then.
- Typical daily maximum wind was 28 km/h (a moderate wind), with 45 km/h the highest value in the sample.
- Sunrise 08:13, sunset 17:32.
The race is more than two weeks out, so these are averages of recent years for the same week, not a forecast. A real forecast appears here closer to the day.

The published GPX measures 168 km with 1975 m of climbing, 12 m per km. The course sits between 0 m and 204 m of altitude. 41% of the gain sits in the first half.
- 0-12 km · Start → Mölle Hamn: 22 m up / 25 m down; close to flat.
- 12-17 km · Mölle Hamn → Himmelstorp: 170 m up / 36 m down; the stretch climbs.
- 17-32 km · Himmelstorp → Mölle Aid: 343 m up / 474 m down; the stretch descends.
- 32-45 km · Mölle Aid → Svanshall: 219 m up / 218 m down; the stretch keeps rolling.
- 45-66 km · Svanshall → Råbocka Ängelholm: 26 m up / 27 m down; close to flat.
- 66-84 km · Råbocka Ängelholm → Stora Hult: 40 m up / 41 m down; close to flat.
- 84-116 km · Stora Hult → Båstad Aid Station: 507 m up / 474 m down; the stretch keeps rolling.
- 116-134 km · Båstad Aid Station → Glimminge Plantering: 262 m up / 296 m down; the stretch keeps rolling.
- 134-152 km · Glimminge Plantering → Hovs Hallar: 89 m up / 27 m down; close to flat.
- 152-164 km · Hovs Hallar → Norrviken: 271 m up / 305 m down; the stretch keeps rolling.
- 164-168 km · Norrviken → Finish: 19 m up / 43 m down; close to flat.
The first 5 km are close to flat, good for settling in. Do not set your pace here, the real course starts after.
There is no single defining climb; the gain is spread across 4 separate hills. A typical hill rises about 120 m and the biggest gains 152 m around km 115. This profile keeps breaking your rhythm, so hold a steady effort on the rises, recover on the drops and switch to hiking without hesitation.
The longest descent starts at km 108 and loses 153 m by km 115 at 2% average, its steepest roughly 250 m section averaging 12%. Its length can load the quads, so begin under control and build rhythm only when the ground and visibility allow it. The drop at km 101 averages 12% over its steepest roughly 250 m section; shorten the stride, stay balanced and set speed to the ground instead of braking continuously.
The last 6 km drop 77 m. If anything is left in your legs, spend it here.
The leg from Stora Hult to Båstad Aid Station is long and unsupported: 31 km and 507 m of climbing with no aid in between, so leave Stora Hult with full capacity.
- The organiser lists 173 km; the published GPX measures 168 km. The organiser lists 2300 m of climbing; the published GPX measures 1975 m. The technical course notes use the published GPX measurement.
- Sunset is 17:32 and the finish cut-off is 02:00. A runner using the full time allowance spends the final 14 hours 13 minutes in darkness.
- Get the headtorch out before sunset and keep spare batteries or a power bank dry and immediately accessible. A spare buried at the bottom of the pack is not an emergency spare.
- Check reflective course markers regularly in the dark. If the markings disappear, stop moving forward, return to the last marker and confirm the route against the GPX or organiser app.
- At cut-off pace you run into a second night. Plan the sleep question before race day: an hour gained on the first night costs two on the second.
- The profile does not show a clear need for poles: 12 m of gain per km. If you are not used to them, running with your hands free may be more comfortable.
- Point to point: the finish sits 31.3 km from the start as the crow flies. Sort the shuttle and your drop bag before race day.
- At km 114.9 you pass right by the finish area with 53.1 km still to go; the noise there breaks more races than the climbs do.
- Km 32.4 to 36.1 is the same ground you covered at km 12.7; note your pace on the first pass and use it as the yardstick on the second.
Course-profile notes are generated from GPX grade data; terrain, rules, aid stations and weather are added only when separately sourced.
Aid stations
Key decision points
Himmelstorpkm 17
- No supplies, timing only.
- A heavy leg is next: 15 km with 353 m of climbing.
- A 15% pitch starts about 1.3 km after the station; do not enter it cooled down.
Stora Hultkm 84
- Drinks only; arrive carrying your own food.
- The heaviest leg is next: 31 km with 478 m of climbing.
- The longest unsupported stretch starts here: 31 km. Leave with full capacity.
Båstad Aid Stationkm 116
- Drinks only; arrive carrying your own food.
- Your drop bag waits here; work off your prepared list.
- A heavy leg is next: 18 km with 305 m of climbing.
- Cut-off: 24h after the start.
Hovs Hallarkm 152
- Collect food and fluids and leave within 60-90 seconds.
- A heavy leg is next: 12 km with 304 m of climbing.
- Cut-off: 29h after the start.
- The longest stretch between official aid stations runs from Stora Hult (km 84) to Båstad Aid Station (km 116): 31 km, with 478 m of climbing in between. Top up at Stora Hult and size what you carry to the expected duration and your own drinking rate.
- Drinks only, no food, at Mölle Hamn (km 12) and Mölle Aid (km 32) and 4 more. Loosen the flask caps on approach; with no queue, refill and leave in 20-30 seconds. Carry the food you will need from the previous station.
- Himmelstorp (km 17) is a timing point only, with nothing on the table. Load up as you leave Mölle Hamn.
- Hot food is served at Råbocka Ängelholm (km 66). If your stomach and race plan call for it, make this a deliberate 3-5 minute stop; do not sit down simply because hot food is available. Restart gently and let your stomach settle before lifting the effort.
- Food is available at Hovs Hallar (km 152) and Båstad Centercourt (km 169). Decide what you need before reaching the table; without a planned special task, collect food and fluids and leave within 60-90 seconds. Finish eating on the next calm, suitable section.
- Drop bags at Båstad Aid Station (km 116) and Båstad Centercourt (km 169). Write down the equipment and food you expect to replace before the race so the decision is already made when you arrive.
- Crew support is permitted only at Höganäs Church (km 0). This is not the same as a drop bag: plan equipment and food hand-offs around these stations, then verify wristband, bag and transport rules with the organiser.
- Another heavy leg runs from Himmelstorp (km 17) to Mölle Aid (km 32): 15 km with 353 m of climbing. Treat it as the slowest part of your day and get your food out before it.
- Medical support is available at Höganäs Church (km 0), Mölle Hamn (km 12), Mölle Aid (km 32), Råbocka Ängelholm (km 66), Båstad Aid Station (km 116), and Båstad Centercourt (km 169). If something is wrong with your feet or your stomach, deal with it there rather than pushing on.
- About 1 km after Himmelstorp (km 17), a roughly 250 m section averaging 15% begins. Nothing is served at this point, so arrive already stocked from the previous aid station, then enter the climb at a controlled effort.
- The overall cut-off is 32h, including all checkpoint stops. Build the plan around the official leg budgets below, not a flat-course average pace.
- Relative to distance and climbing, the tightest official time budget runs from Båstad Aid Station (km 116) to Hovs Hallar (km 152): the official time budget is 5h for 36 km and 351 m of climbing. Station stops come out of that same budget, so do not enter the leg already behind schedule.
