Billingehusloppet 2026

Billingehusloppet is a trail and cross-country race held at Billingehus in Skövde, Sweden, on the Billingen plateau. The primary race is approximately 10 km, with a traditional main distance of 10.5 km. Shorter options are available, including 5 km, 3.5 km, and 1.6 km. The event takes place in September and is organized by IFK Skövde, with IFK Skövde Skidor currently overseeing the race. The race route follows trails around Billingen, distinct from city streets, positioning it more as a local cross-country challenge than a flat road race. Its origins trace back to 1966, and since 1993, both men and women have competed in the main distance. The event now includes specific categories for younger runners and a Nordic walking class, broadening its scope beyond the main competitive race.
