TrailÖvik

TrailÖvik is a trail running race in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden, within the UNESCO World Heritage site. Four course options are available: 22 km, 12 km, 6 km, and a 2 km Mini race. This range accommodates serious trail runners, those preferring shorter distances, and children or beginners. The 22 km course is part of the Outnorth Trailtour, adding a competitive element to the longest distance beyond local participants. Skogslöparna organizes the event. The courses are designed for true trail running, not road running. One participant described it as “a real trail race,” featuring enjoyable paths, challenging ascents, expansive vistas, and no gravel or asphalt sections. The terrain has earned commendation from both recreational and elite runners, highlighting its balance: while accessible through distance options, the ground and climbs demand genuine trail running ability. One runner found the experience compelling enough to travel over 2,000 km round trip.
