TCS Lidingöloppet is the world's largest cross-country running race, featuring a classic 30 km course over the hills of Lidingö.

What this race demands

TCS Lidingöloppet is a 30 km cross-country running race over rolling hills, requiring sustained aerobic endurance and muscular resilience over undulating terrain.

Aerobic endurance

Covering 30 km demands a high level of cardiovascular capacity to sustain a steady running pace over an extended duration.

Hill climbing

Negotiating 522 meters of elevation gain across the hills of Lidingö requires strong leg strength and efficient pacing on both ascents and descents.

Terrain durability

The cross-country nature of the course places continuous eccentric load on the lower limbs, necessitating structural durability for late-race fatigue.

A sustained effort of this duration requires consistent carbohydrate intake of 60 to 90 grams per hour to maintain performance.
