Seventh Seal
The organiser advertises 53 kilometres and 727 metres of ascent for this loop on the Bjäre peninsula. The maximum time is 10 hours, giving a finish deadline of 21:00 on Saturday evening in Båstad. The route first heads south through Sinarpsdalen before returning to the coast. Its current station list names Glimminge, Hovs Hallar and Norrviken before Finish Båstad. The start is by the beach, rather than on the Centercourt tennis arena.
The published GPX measures approximately 53 kilometres. The Livebib Seventh Seal demo illustrates a synthetic runner on the stored route with example pace and telemetry. Supporters following a participant’s own shared broadcast can see position and estimated arrivals along the coast. These forecasts help plan a meeting but are not official race results.
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.

Seventh Seal
Seventh Seal is a tour of the Bjäre peninsula. It leaves Båstad heading south through Sinarpsdalen, which the organiser calls the “Rest and Be Thankful Valley”, and climbs onto the Hallandsåsen ridge, where the view reaches all the way south to the sea at Skälderviken.
At Ängelbäcksstrand the course turns west and follows the coastline. The ground flattens out through pastures and small villages where runners can pick up speed, the first aid station waits in Glimminge, and the sea, in the organiser’s words, is a constant companion.
