Dalsland X-Trail, live.

Two loops from Långevi

A trail race on forest paths in Dalsland, built from two loops that both start and finish at the Långevi sports ground in Bengtsfors.

Dalsland X-Trail is run on Saturday 3 October 2026 from Långevi idrottsplats in Bengtsfors, organised by Camp Dalsland. Runners choose between three courses. The short course is 9 kilometres and starts at 12:00. The long course, 13 kilometres, starts at 11:30 together with the 22-kilometre Challenge, which runs one lap of the long course and then one of the short. There is also a hiking class that starts at 09:30 and takes a few detours to viewpoints, and a children’s race over 500 metres, 1 and 1.5 kilometres.

The two loops split about 500 metres after the start and meet again at the finish. The course is marked with yellow arrows on a black background. The long and short courses have one aid station each, with water, energy drink and bananas, and the Challenge passes three. It is a mass start, with chip timing in the bib; Challenge runners get a split at the arena as they start their second loop. Anyone who needs to stop is best off doing it at an aid station, where the officials are. Every finisher gets a medal, and the prize-giving is at the finish area at 14:00.

Between the aid stations it is forest, and that is where whoever waits at Långevi loses track of their runner. With Livebib the runner shares a link to their own broadcast, and family and friends open it in a browser, with no account and no app. They see where on the loop the runner is, how far she has come, and a finish estimate that updates during the race. When the phone loses signal among the trees, the dot does not freeze: the position is carried forward along the course and marked as estimated. The runner decides who gets the link.
