Set along the rocky shores of Sweden's Kullaberg, Kullamannen by UTMB offers trail courses ranging from a fast 20 km to a challenging 100-mile test of endurance through coastal paths, forests, and technical terrain.
What this race demands
Kullamannen by UTMB is a 173-kilometer trail running test of extreme endurance that demands sustained effort across technical terrain and coastal paths late in the autumn season.
Extreme endurance
Covering 173 kilometers on foot requires exceptional aerobic capacity and structural durability to keep moving forward across extended hours.
Technical terrain management
Navigating rocky shores and forest paths requires continuous concentration and ankle stability, even as fatigue accumulates over a long duration.
Late-season management
An October event in Sweden demands adequate preparation for cold temperatures, limited daylight, and potentially wet or windy coastal conditions.
Given the exceptionally long duration of this 173-kilometer event, athletes should target an intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy availability throughout the effort.
