Hike

Ultravandringen

Ultravandringen takes place on Sat, Sep 19, 2026 in Göteborg, Sweden. The main route is 50 km.

Ultravandringen is a long-distance hiking and endurance event held across scenic nature areas and ridges in Sweden such as NV Skåne and Göteborg.

What this race demands

Ultravandringen requires athletes to sustain forward movement over a 50 km hiking distance across scenic nature areas and ridges in September.

Endurance capacity

Covering 50 km on foot demands continuous aerobic output and muscular endurance over an extended duration.

Terrain adaptability

Traversing nature areas and ridges requires stability and resilience to handle varied off-road surfaces throughout the hike.

Seasonal resilience

A September event in Sweden requires preparation for variable weather conditions and shifting temperatures over long hours outdoors.

Given the duration will exceed 2.5 hours, athletes should consume 45 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy levels.
