The Sörmlands Trail Run 100km is a point-to-point trail race held each September in Södermanland County, Sweden, running from Öster Malma castle to the coastal village of Nävekvarn. The course covers 100km with 1,300m of total elevation gain — just 13m per kilometre — making it one of the fifteen least elevation-dense distances in DTR's database of nearly 390 courses. Entry for the 2026 edition is 1,850 SEK (€1.57 per kilometre at early-bird pricing).
The Sörmlands Trail Run course runs 65% trail, 25% gravel, and 10% asphalt through Sörmland's rolling forest, farmland, and lakeside trails. With 58% of the course classified as flat terrain and an average uphill gradient of just 5.3%, this is one of the most runnable 100km trail ultras in Europe by the numbers. The defining feature is the aid stations: placed at some of the region's best local restaurants and food producers, a direct result of race director Billy White's background as a chef and author. Stockholm Skavsta Airport (NYO) is 13 minutes from the Nyköping race base.
The race suits road runners making their trail ultra debut, fast-hikers targeting a runnable distance, and anyone who wants a genuine point-to-point Swedish forest adventure without technical mountain terrain.
