North Shore
The advertised 22-kilometre distance and 96 metres of ascent make North Shore the shortest of the four main races. Its maximum time is four hours, giving a finish deadline of 21:00 on Saturday evening in Båstad. The course follows the coast east of Båstad and returns to the same town. Its station list names The Camping as a water stop. This route does not visit Hovs Hallar, which lies west of Båstad.
The currently linked GPX measures about 22.9 kilometres, while the organiser’s station table still ends near 24 kilometres and lists 362 metres of ascent. Those figures differ from the advertised race facts. On Livebib, a participant can share a broadcast for family and friends to follow along the stored route with position and arrival estimates. Official timing and organiser instructions remain the source for results and permitted assistance.
The organiser has published its 2026 runner guide with aid stations and cut-off times. Some of its figures still disagree with the race pages. The guide gives Ultra 100 Miles 2,300 metres of ascent, the race page 2,020. Some Sprint Ultra cut-offs in the guide fall after the race’s 20-hour limit. Livebib shows only times that agree with the race facts. Check the official race page and runner guide before planning a checkpoint visit.

North Shore
North Shore is the 20 km way into the Kullamannen weekend, made for runners who want a fast race. It starts by Hotel Skansen Seaside in Båstad and soon runs right beside the water, with the sea steadily on the left, on narrow beach paths and packed dirt trails through nature reserves and pine forest.
In summer these beaches are crowded, but by late autumn the cold north-westerly winds have emptied them. The 2026 edition is the first to start after sunset, so North Shore runners now get the dark, iconic Kullamannen start too.
