Explore Sweden is back! The teams will discover the best of Sweden and the amazing High Coast with its unique and beautiful terrain.
The race course is 400 km. The course will take the teams through the spectacular and very variable terrain of the High Coast which is a world heritage area.
The disciplines are carefully and delicately chosen to match the course design.
Good navigation is critical for the race, with maps and roadbook. The race includes kayaking in the oceans and in creeks, challenging ropeworks, mountainbike, downhill biking, coasteering at the steep coastline, island traversing in the fantastic archipelago, inlines and trekking.
4th Aug. Course designer Mikael Lindnord has just come back from his latest course check;
-"The course looks great! It's taken a really good shape and it will be a natural course where you all the time will feel that you are traveling forward in the best parts the High Coast region can give you."
Sweden has had a outstanding summer with warm and sunny weather.
