About the Event

Embrace the raw, wintry challenge of a true Scandinavian ultra at **Ursvik Ultra on Saturday, March 21, 2026**. Held annually on the third Saturday of March in Sundbyberg, this iconic looped race is a beloved and gritty Stockholm tradition, testing runners against the unpredictable late-winter conditions of the Ursvik Extreme 15km trail. Participants choose their battle across four distances—the grueling 75km "Ursvik Ultra," the tough 45km "UU Hårdingen," the single 15km "UU Light," or the unique "Råskinnet" challenge for those who dare to run beyond five loops. The course itself is a character, mixing forest paths, illuminated trails, and rolling hills with 320 meters of climbing per lap, its surface varying from hard gravel to icy slush or deep mud based on the capricious season.

More than a race, it's a communal, all-day festival of endurance centered around a legendary aid station offering hot broth, sausages, pizza buns, and unwavering support. The event's unique spirit is encapsulated in the coveted "Råskinnet" (Rawhide) awards, honoring both the runner who completes the most extra loops and the last true fighter out on the course. With a mandatory headlamp and complete dry change required for all, safety and camaraderie are paramount, fostering an atmosphere where every finisher—or valiant attempter—is celebrated. To run Ursvik is to join a hardy fellowship, sharing in the simple, profound joy of persevering through the Nordic twilight together.
