Good to Keep in Mind!

Parking options and information about the courses are provided in a separate information sheet enclosed with the map delivery.

Only paid-for maps may be used. It is not permitted to make copies and pass them on to other runners for later training.

As a general rule, clubs are not allowed to set out their own controls, as all clubs must be given the same conditions. In exceptional cases, this may be approved by the event contact person, provided that it does not conflict with the training activities of other clubs.

Respect agreements with landowners and hunting teams

We have agreements with landowners and hunting teams regarding the times specified for each training area. Training without our permission at other times is not allowed, as this may harm our relationships with landowners and hunting teams and could make it more difficult for clubs to use the maps themselves in the future.

Please respect the above rules so that we can continue to organise competitions and practise our sport in cooperation with other stakeholders.

Major Training Weekend – Easter 2027 (25–29 March)

We aim to offer a major training weekend with several high-quality training sessions throughout the Easter weekend of 2027. Taking place one week before the start of the 2027 relay season and with five weeks to go until 10MILA, it will be the perfect way to kick off the racing season.

The terrain in Västervik

The terrain around Västervik is often fast and detailed coastal terrain, featuring bare rock, small hills and areas of marshland. It is generally quite easy to run in from a physical perspective, but requires good technique and precise navigation.

The elevation differences are usually slight to moderate, but the many small terrain features make the area detailed and technically demanding. The bare rock areas often provide excellent runnability and allow for high speeds.

Along the coast, the terrain is more rugged, with steep and physically demanding slopes featuring elevation differences of up to 50 metres.

We look forward to welcoming you to Västervik!
