Trans Scania

Trans Scania is a 234.2 km trail race held in Bjärred, on the coast of Skåne County in southern Sweden. It takes place in early August, beginning and ending by the sea, with 4,300 metres of elevation gain over a long point-to-point course. The race is part of the UTMB Index, allowing finishers to earn points in that system. The route traces the coastline before heading inland through natural areas and forests, aiming to traverse this region of Sweden from one end to the other. This ultra is designed for runners seeking a lengthy, exposed challenge spanning day and night, rather than a brief mountain race. Sea, woodland, and endurance are the core elements. The organisers describe its scale with the phrase, “A distance that will surely make you finish in Trans.”
