A well-known Swedish blogger expressed Härnö Trail as “one of Sweden’s most technical trail race” and we do agree. Härnö Trail is a race course that winds along the trails where world champion in skyrunning Emelie Forsberg started her carreer. It covers demanding terrain across 4 peaks from 0 to 175 meters above sea level. We do promise a true trail experience whilst you get to enjoy playful and challenging trails, steep cliffs, sandy beaches and lush forests.
The start is somewhat tough since you begin with climbing up the downhill skiing slope to the top of Vårdkasberget mountain. See to the right when making your way to the top for a great view over the southern bay to Härnösand. After this first descend a few kilometers of relatively easy trail running awaits and you will pass the first checkpoint at Mårtensmyran.
Shortly after the first checkpoint a climb to Bockberget mountain awaits and then really playful running down the rocks towards lake Örsjön. Take extra caution here if the rocks are wet and slippery. When you’ve passed the lakeside a though climb to Örsjöberget mountain starts. Halfway up the top is a flat section where you can recover before the last short bit to the top. Here you will have a great view and make sure to stop for a selfie!
From now on really nice trail running awaits when entering the Smitingen-Härnöklubb nature reserve. Here you will pass canyons, unique cliff formations, big rocks and caves. Stay focused and be careful if wet and slippery ground. After a while you will pass the beach where the next checkpoint is. Take your time to rest, refill with water and energy. A few kilometers more of rocks and cliffs awaits and when you pass lake Klubbsjön the toughest section of the course begins.
The climb up to Speckstaberget mountain is long and continous and the last 400 meters is really steep. Take use of the ropes, they can help you get up the mountain. When you reach the top you can enjoy the view and the last kilometers is relatively easy. The worst part is done!
After about 1 kilometer a short descend to Himmelsberget mountain begins. A mountain without any particular view but you will notice that you’ve gained some altitude on the way up. When ascending from the top the last checkpoint awaits. Only a few kilometers left but make sure to refill with water and energy!
After the last checkpoint sandy trails will take you towards Norra Utsikten mountain. From here you will have a nice view overlooking Härnösand. After you’ve passed this small mountain the trail continous along some true trailrunning tracks before the last short climb to the radio tower and a few moments later you’ll enter the arena and cross the finish line. Good job!
