6D event in Gothenburg, Sweden August 30 – September 5.

 

WHERE: Slottsskogen – a park in Gothenburg – www.villabelparc.se. New management means that the website is under reconstruction.

 

START: 09:00. Why? Most runners I have talked to through the years goes to bed early the night before, so why wait with the start.

 

COURSE:  Around a pond with birds. Asphalt and gravel. No stones in the gravel. Length: 730 meters.

 

IAU: Bronze label.

 

SERVICE: As there is a restaurant on the course you will have the possibility to choose from their menu.

They have marvellous sandwiches and pastry.

Different types of coffee, tee ++++

In Sweden we have a very light beer ( 2.2 % ) which is a favourite.

 

The table. You will be surprised how it works in Sweden. Ask Martina Hausmann – well known. If you think you’ve seen the best service ever - you ain’t seen nothing yet.

 

Restaurant is normally open from 10:00 to 22:00. It might be prolonged during the event. If not there will be Microwaves + food to be warmed up by the runners ( helpers ).

 

MEDICAL. It may be noted that the second largest hospital in Sweden is only a 2K away. On site will be medical people plus massage. Even blisters will be taken care of. There will be an easy test for all runners before start. 6D-runners are not common, more a rare specie, but interesting for science.

 

ACCOMODATION: In tents most likely. No slamming doors and everything on the ground. There will be a bed + mattress + blanket + pillow + a table + a chair for everyone.

I will try to find a washer and dryer not too far away, so you can turn in cloths in the evening and have them back clean and dry next morning at the latest.

Showers will be provided with warm water all day and night.

 

STARTING FEE:

For those living outside Sweden + Norway + Denmark + Finland it is free.

Norway + Denmark + Finland pays 100 Euro.

Sweden pays 200 Euro.

Why?

The further away the more travelling costs.

 

PRICE MONEY?

There will be rewards for good results. All male runners passing 700K and all female passing 600K will be awarded. 900K/800K will give 5.000 Euro.

 

LEGENDS.

I intend to invite as many legends as possible. The place has a lot of possibilities.

Like a room for some 100 people eating or only chairs maybe 200 at the same time.

 

SUPPORT.

I will also try to get helpers. Alan Young + Seppo Leinonen ( a legend as well ) will most probably come. Seppo says that 200 Ultra now in 7D Athens 04.03.-10 was his last. Do you believe that?

He mumbled something about running one or two days in Gothenburg. We’ll see.

 

 

Run For The Kids.

The concept is taken from “ No Finish Line “ in Monaco an 8D – adventure for charity.

There will be through the total 9 days thousands of people mostly walking around. They will not interfere with the official races. They will however be close. On the outside. That means that runners out in the night will not be that lonely.
