Silverleden Ultra

Silverleden Ultra is a trail race held at Silvergruvan in Hällefors, Bergslagen, Sweden, in late June. The series provides three distances: 33 km (The Sprint), 64 km (The Classic), and 100 miles (The Monster). Established in 2013, the organizer’s motto is the Swedish phrase “löparglädje,” meaning running joy. The routes are designed for runners seeking challenging terrain over smooth paths. Expect technical trails, hilly forest landscapes, significant climbing, and a course so immersed in nature that the organizer advises bringing appropriate gear. The shorter races are suitable for trail runners transitioning to longer, mountain-style events, while the 100-mile race attracts participants prepared for an all-day-and-night challenge within Bergslagen’s forests and hills.
