The course consists of various "loops", each returning to the main event area. Spectators can therefore see and cheer on participants each time they re-enter the event area. Depending on the terrain, it is also possible to run alongside the track.

Note that it is forbidden to enter the track except for at the dedicated crossings. This is to avoid any interference with our participants during the race.

Absolutely! We encourage everyone to join the festivities at the event area. Bring your friends and family, grab something to eat/drink and see our participants beat their obstacles. Entrance is free of cost.

Yes, it is ok to collect all starting envelopes for your team/group. To do so, you must be able to provide registration IDs, starting numbers and valid identification cards for all participants.

Gift cards are available for purchase during registration. Visit our gift cards page for more information.

MAIN RACE & XPLORE

To safely complete the race, participants need to have a good understanding of their own abilities and continuously make risk assessments on how to overcome the obstacles. For this reason, the official age limit is 18 years at the time of the race.

We allow younger participants in the following cases:

• From 13 years old if the participant runs in adult company (who is thereby responsible for the minor on the course).
• From 16 years old if the participant runs without adult company.

In both cases, an application must be submitted via the form provided during registration. However, we recommend that you do this before signing up.
Application for minors

Important: All children have different prerequisites and maturity levels. Before signing up, it is therefore important that the guardian ensures that the child can safely complete the race without putting themselves or other participants at risk.

FAMILY

Recommended from 5 years old. All minor participants must run in adult company (who is thereby responsible for all minors in the team).

No separate application needs to be submitted if the participant runs in adult company. The following conditions are approved in conjunction with registration:
The adults in the team are responsible for minor participants and must also ensure that the guardians of all minors have given their consent.

Younger participants are allowed to run by themselves in the following cases:

• If the participant is 16 years of age or older at the time of the race and has had their application approved.

We recommend that the application is submitted before registration.
Application for minors

Gift cards are available for purchase during registration. Visit our gift cards page for more information.

To make a group registration, simply select the amount of participants during the registration process. Fill in the details for each participant. All members will get the same team name, which will ensure that you will start in the same starting group.

Main race: Yes
Family race: No (water may be present, but it is possible to avoid it)

Since water obstacles exist in some of our races, ability to swim is recommended. Distance in the water varies and can be up to 20 m. In some cases you can avoid the water by doing a penalty round. If you are unsure if your swimming abilities are sufficient, don't hesitate to contact us at info@toughest.se.

All children are offered a floating vest before our water obstacles.

Our races are designed so that everyone, regardless of fitness and training level, can complete them. Mental strength and grit is more important than physical condition.

However, if timing results matter to you, or you wish to run in our competition classes, you must be physically fit.

No, absolutely not. Obstacles designed to cause mental/physical pain are not our cup of tea. Focus on the race, that is more than enough.

There will be a water station after about halfway through the course as well as one after the finish line. If you need more fluids than this, we recommend bringing your own water bottle.

Yes, of course. We always have trained and professional medical staff at our events. A medical tent is placed at the event area, close to the finish line where you can seek assistance if needed. There is also a mobile medical team which will attend to all incidents throughout the course.

Main race

Time tracking is present at our Main races. Your starting envelope will contain a chip to wear around your ankle. The chip is activated when you start, and stopped when you cross the finish line.

Family race

Time tracking is not present at our Family races.

Gloves provides the benefit of extra protection and grip which many may prefer. It is up to each and everyone to decide if they wish to wear gloves or not.

Gloves are available for purchase in our online shop or in the shop at the event area.

No, it is not allowed to wear spiked trainers during our races.

All obstacles on our Family races are modified so that both young and old can complete them. Our Family lanes are an easier alternative to the main obstacle.

The obstacles with Fast lanes also have so called "Follow obstacles" after the main obstacle. These are smaller obstacles placed directly after the main obstacle.

If you choose the Fast lane, you will not have to complete any follow obstacles.

You will find our fast lanes at some of our larger, more technical obstacles. They are marked with green. A fast lane is a technically more difficult alternative to the main obstacle. By choosing the fast lane you will save time compared to the main lane, since you will not have to do the "follow obstacle".

A penalty round is an alternative route if you are unable to finish or wish to skip an obstacle. They are marked with red, next to the main obstacle and usually consist of an additional jog.

No, you do not have to complete all obstacles*. Simply take the penalty round and continue with the race.

* Note that if you are participating in one of our competition classes (Elite/Qualifier/Age group), extraordinary rules apply.

No, it is not possible to change starting group. The starting groups are scheduled and sized to achieve the smoothest flow possible throughout the course and thereby preventing/reducing any queues.

The first starting groups of the day are dedicated to the Elite, Qualifier and other competition classes. Regular starting groups are then sent off about every five minutes.

All our participants will receive a medal as a memento of the accomplishment. Bragging rights are of course included.

Finisher photos and other footage captured by our photographers will be posted on our Facebook page a couple of days after the race.

Your results will be available on the event page after the race. If you can not find your time, please contact our timing partner at resultat@est.se.
