Question 1

Where is the main packet pickup located?

Accepted Answer

Bib distribution is usually held in the race village at Mölle Harbour. Check the official guide for specific hours as it typically closes early on Friday before the 100-mile start.

Question 2

What is the mandatory gear requirement?

Accepted Answer

Expect strict checks for a waterproof jacket (min 10,000 Schmerber), emergency blanket, whistle, mobile phone, and at least 1L water capacity. The weather on the ridge can be brutal.

Question 3

How do I get to the start line for the different race distances?

Accepted Answer

The 100-miler often starts in Båstad or Ängelholm with shuttle buses provided from Mölle. Shorter distances like the 20km and 50km usually start and finish in Mölle itself.

Question 4

Is the course technical?

Accepted Answer

Yes, extremely. While Sweden is often thought of as flat, the Kullaberg sections involve steep, slippery technical single-track with roots, rocks, and significant 'vertical' gain over short distances.

Question 5

What kind of shoes should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Aggressive trail outsoles (like Vibram Megagrip or similar) are essential. Late October in Sweden means mud, wet leaves, and slippery stones.

Question 6

Are there cut-offs I should be aware of?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Kullamannen is known for having challenging cut-offs, especially in the 100-mile 'Ultra' distance. Ensure you are familiar with the time limits for each aid station.

Question 7

Can I use trekking poles?

Accepted Answer

Poles are allowed and highly recommended for the technical 'Death Zone' loops on the Kullaberg ridge to save your quads on the steep descents.
