Höga Kusten Trail is a popular two-day trail running event taking participants through Sweden's dramatic UNESCO World Heritage High Coast landscape, featuring multiple distances including the classic 45k course.
What this race demands
Höga Kusten Trail requires athletes to sustain running locomotion over a demanding 45-kilometer distance through Sweden's High Coast landscape in late August.
Distance endurance
Covering 45 kilometers on trail terrain demands significant aerobic capacity and muscular endurance to sustain forward progress over several hours.
Terrain adaptability
Traversing the UNESCO World Heritage High Coast landscape requires physical resilience and stability to handle varied and natural trail surfaces.
Given the duration of a 45-kilometer trail run exceeding two and a half hours, athletes should plan to consume 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain performance.
