Hiit Out Trailrun, live.

Expect wet shoes

A small trail race in the forest outside Kristdala, where the organiser warns in the invitation itself that your shoes will not stay dry.

Hiit Out Trailrun was run on Saturday 3 October 2026 at Mellingerum outside Kristdala in Oskarshamn municipality, starting and finishing in the same place. It is organised by Hiit Out, an outdoor training group that trains all year in all weather, together with Massagekuren. The distances are 16, 12 and 8 kilometres, sent off longest first a quarter of an hour apart: the 16 km at 10:30, the 12 km at 10:45 and the 8 km at 11:00. Anyone aged 15 or over may take part.

The organiser describes the course as varied terrain with a lot of trail, plenty of climbing and stretches where you should expect wet shoes. The results page afterwards confirmed it: “in some cases more than the shoes got wet.” The times show it too. In 2026 the 16 km was won in 1:35:44 and the 8 km in 1:00:31 — paces that say more about the ground than about the runners. This is a race run on time in the forest, not on road kilometre splits.

That is exactly why it is hard for anyone waiting at Mellingerum to know when a runner will appear. With Livebib the runner shares a link to their own broadcast, and family open it in a browser with no account and no app. They see the runner’s position on the course line, the distance covered and a finish estimate that updates as the pace in the woods changes. If the phone loses coverage 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.
