Seventh Seal
Named after Ingmar Bergman’s cinematic masterpiece filmed at Hovs Hallar, the Seventh Seal covers 50 rugged kilometres with 1,000 metres of ascent. Starting and finishing on the tennis courts of Båstad Centercourt, the loop heads west across the storm-battered rocky beaches, shingle fields and jagged promontories of the Kattegat coast before climbing into the steep beech woods of Hallandsåsen.
With a 9-hour cutoff, the race provides an unrelenting test of technical trail running over slippery coastal stone and muddy singletrack. On Livebib, friends and supporters can track the runner’s progress in real time, with instant checkpoint notifications and dynamic arrival estimates for the final approach back into Båstad.
