What this race demands

Siljan Runt demands sustained endurance to cover a 160-kilometer cycling distance around Lake Siljan and Lake Orsasjön.

Aero efficiency

Covering 160 kilometers on the road requires maintaining a steady, efficient aerodynamic position over many hours in the saddle.

Pacing discipline

An endurance distance of this length demands controlled energy output early to prevent late-race fatigue before returning to Sollerön.

Aim for 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to sustain energy stores across a cycling duration that will exceed 2.5 hours.
