90% spruce forest with rolling terrain that becomes very steep in places, alternating between very runnable areas and others where low vegetation has grown more than expected, and others again with branches on the ground. Long trousers recommended.

Logging operations

The forest is actively managed. Be careful of skidding tracks which may be hard to see and covered by tall grass or brambles.

• Dense network of roads, paths and rides
• A small local road runs through the map lengthwise; remain vigilant even if traffic is officially restricted—some users may still have to use it.
• Some regeneration areas are lower than the usual canopy (max. 3 m). Therefore, ISOM symbol 410.000 is replaced by 404.001 “open land with scattered bushes” and symbol 409.000 dense hatched green. This was considered more meaningful for runners.

Fences

On some courses you may have to cross fences. They are all on the edge of meadows—cross carefully.

Please report at the finish any fences that may have been damaged so we can repair them quickly.
