Vindelälvsterrängen 26 km

Vindelälvsterrängen 26 km

After the first kilometres on other trails and roads across Rödåheden, most of the course follows Vindelforsarnas led, the restored trail along the Vindelälven rapids. The finish is the part everyone talks about: from Vindeln church, mostly on gravel, across the bridge over the river, past Västomån and Holmen, over the suspension bridge and a last kilometre downstream to the finish. The organiser’s map is labelled 25 km.

Three aid stations with sports drink and water stand at about 5, 15 and 20 km, and crews may also hand things over along the way. No equipment is mandatory, since the course stays fairly close to the road, but a phone and some extra energy are recommended. The course is marked with white ribbons and staffed at some crossings. Bibs are collected at the finish between 08:30 and 09:45, and buses to the start leave from 10:00. Parking at the start is very limited, which is one more reason to take the bus.

This page covers the 2026 edition. With the start on Rödåheden and the finish in Vindeln, supporters are usually waiting at the river. On Livebib the runner shares a link to their broadcast, and family open it in a browser to see the position on the course line, the distance covered and a finish estimate that updates on the way, so they can walk to the suspension bridge at the right moment. Where the signal fades along the river, the position is carried forward and marked as estimated.
