It was a blast! Thank you for making this event special!

New race concept together with Niklas Lundgren and Daniel Johansson.

Runners started in 3 categories: 3h, 6h, and 12h and were going up and down forever on ski slope in Hanaslöv.

Hill is 67m high and loop is exact 1km.

To mark each lap runners were using LEGO bricks each time and building the tallest tower. 

Bricks were in separate plastic bags - corona safe.

Next year we are planning 24h or open-ended category so it will be last man standing format.

Stay tuned!

On 21st of Sept over 60 runners enjoyed first “real” edition of Mossarun close to Älmhult. There was two trails prepared: one 5k with beautiful Smålands landscapes and one brutal 17k with dozens of small hills and technical terrain. Runners from all distances (5k, 17k, 34k, 24h ultra) crossed the Start at the same time and dive into the forest. The game started! It was a fine balance between watching each step (not to fall) and watching for the next marker (not to get lost) as most of the trail was in unpaved terrain. All runners made it back to the goal in one piece (although one covered with mud completely). Big smiles plus clothes soaked with sweat meant only one: trail was approved!

Later people could enjoy fantastic vegan food from Café Muff as well as vegetable smoothies from Oasis Kitchen (squeezed few hours before) to recharge mutilated bodies.

Day was passing, most people left except 24h runner and few supporters. Base camp became calm and quiet. It was time to start big bonfire. Every 3-4 hours lonely runner emerge from darkness and rang a bell on a Mål announcing completion of another loop. So it went till 10:00 next day and one who rung the most was Axel Salomonsson completing 7 loops which equals to 119k. All results available here.

Big thank you to all land owners and friends helping preparing event! See you next year!

Förra lördagen fick 60 löpare njuta av den första riktiga upplagan av Mossarun i närheten av Älmhult.

Två rundor var förberedda; en 5k runda i det vackra småländska landskapet och en brutal 17k runda med ett dussintal små backar och teknisk terräng.

Löpare från alla distanser (5k, 17k, 34k och 24h ultra) korsade startlinjen samtidigt och dök in i skogen.

Spelet hade börjat!

Det är en fin balansgång mellan att se var man sätter fötterna (och inte ramla) och se var nästa markering är (och inte springa vilse) eftersom det mesta av loppet går i mer eller mindre obanad terräng.

Alla löpare tog sig runt och tillbaka till målet i ett stycke (fast en kom tillbaka helt täckt av lera!).

Stora leenden plus svettiga kläder betydde bara en sak; banan var godkänd!

Efter löpningen kunde man njuta av fantastisk vegansk mat från Café Muff och även pinfärska smoothies/juicer från Oasis Kitchen (pressade bara några timmar innan) att tanka misshandlade kroppar med.

Då dagen gick mot sitt slut lämnade de flesta området förutom 24h löparna.

Ett lugn la sig över base camp och det var dags att tända det stora bålet.

Var 3e -4e timme dök det en ensam löpare upp ur mörkret och ringde i klockan som hängde på målet för att meddela att ytterligare ett varv klarats av. 

Och så fortsatte det fram till 10.00 nästa dag.

Den som ringde i klockan flest gånger var Axel Salomonsson som slutförde 7 varv vilket är lika med 119k. Alla resultat her.

Fantastiska medaljer designades av Kasia Staszel https://www.kahastaszel.com/ .

Ett stort tack till alla markägare och vänner som hjälpt till att förbereda detta event.

Vi ses nästa år!

Nights with full moon are very bright during the winter when all is white. It is a rare and magical scenery.

This time we were lucky because just right before the race forest got covered with a thin layer of fresh powder.

Moon was shining on a group of mad runners finding their way through the bushes....

First edition/test of trial running completion with two distances: 15k and 24h ultra.

It could only happen thanks to amazing friends who worked hard to prepare the trail: Aniol, Ben, Lluc, Lukasz and Tibi!

Special thanks to Amilia and Roxy who took care of runners and prepared food and amazing coffee.

Thanks to participants generosity we collected 200 Euro which was donated to Sangter Foundation in Sikkim (India).

Money was directly used in project aiming to open first dental clinic in Himalayan town Ravangla.
