Dalsland X-Trail Långa banan 13 km

This page covers the long course at Dalsland X-Trail in 2026. The loop starts and finishes at Långevi and parts from the short course about 500 metres after the start, then goes its own way through the forest and comes back to the same finish area. The organisers describe it, simply, as fantastic trail running. It is also the loop the 22 km runners do as their first lap, and they start in the same mass start.

There is one aid station on the long course, with water, energy drink and bananas, and the course is marked with yellow arrows on a black background. Timing is by chip in the bib from the gun at 11:30. There are women’s and men’s classes, and the top three in each receive a plaque and a prize from a local sponsor at the prize-giving at 14:00. Bibs are collected at Långevi between 9 and 11, and there are changing rooms with showers at the start and finish.

Thirteen kilometres of trail with a single aid station on the way is a stretch where whoever waits can mostly guess. With Livebib the runner shares a link to their own broadcast, and family and friends see in a browser, with no account and no app, where on the loop the runner is and a finish estimate that updates during the race. When the signal drops in the forest the dot does not freeze: the position is carried forward along the course and marked as estimated.
