Katrineholm Night Trail 5 km
From the top of the ski slope it follows a winding mountain bike trail into the forest, crosses a road, passes a small clearing and runs about a kilometre on the Sörmlandsleden. At the 2.5 km split it heads north along a field while the longer course goes south.
There is a split time at 2.5 km and another at 4.7 km, at the bottom of Spökbacken, which starts the clock for the sprint prize up the last 300 m of slope. There is no drink station on this course, and a bag of light snacks waits at the finish. Women, men and the youth class each have prizes for the top three. With roots, stones and wet patches, the organiser says plainly that this is not a course for a personal best.
