Baltic wilderness stage feel: long forest sections, quiet trails, and a true endurance test in Estonia.
EUTR Estonia Ultra-Trail Race 132km is a forest ultra through the wilderness of Ida-Viru County in northeastern Estonia, starting June 27, 2026, from Narva — a border city on the Estonia–Russia frontier. The 132.3km course gains just 640m over its full distance (~4.84m/km), with 65.9% of the terrain classified as flat — among the most runnable profiles of any 130km+ race in the DTR database. Distance-weighted average gradients are 3.91% uphill and 3.84% downhill; there are no significant climbs or technical sections. Entry costs €195 (~€1.47/km per DTR's AUTO calculation); a €9 card payment fee applies via Maksekeskus but is avoidable by direct bank transfer. With ~4 bibs remaining as of May 2026, the race is effectively sold out for its ~25-person field. 4 ITRA points. 19-hour time limit. Tallinn TLL is the nearest airport (~154 min); classified IS FAR, though frequent buses and trains connect Tallinn to Narva directly. Organised by SK ETR (Spordiklubi Estonia Trail Running), Race Director Aleksander Tihhonov. Founded 2018 — 9th edition in 2026. Suits ultra runners seeking ITRA qualification in a remote flat forest setting with minimal competition, long Baltic daylight, and maximum atmosphere.
