RACE ARENA

Car PARKING
Free parking on the large grass areas at Turistparkeringen in Båstad, follow signage and instructions from officials. From here, the buses leave for the start.
Regarding other parking in Torekov and Båstad, follow and respect ordinary parking rules.
BUS TO START
The easiest way to get to the start is to take the bus. You get on at the tourist parking in Båstad. Your number bib is valid as a ticket. The buses are only for you who will run the race. Please take the bus that applies to your start time! The bus will depart 50 minutes before your start time.
START
The harbor in Torekov. The race will be conducted in five starting groups.
| Startgroup | Time | The bus leaves Båstad |
| 1 | 10.00 | 09.10 |
| 2 | 10.30 | 09.40 |
| 3 | 11.00 | 10.10 |
| 4 | 11.30 | 10.40 |
| 5 | 12.00 | 11.10 |
In the start list, if you registered early, you will find which start group you have chosen. If you want to change the start group, you log in to your profile in EQ Timing (link) and change it yourself. Please note that it is only possible to switch to a starting group with free places (max. 300 places per group).
FINISH
On the beach at Hotel Skansen, Båstad.
NUMBER BIBS
Here you collect your number bib and ask any questions. The number bib distribution can be found at the finish arena below Hotel Skansen, Båstad. NOTE: Number bibs can only be picked up here, not at the start in Torekov!
Opening times:
Friday 16.00–20.00
Saturday 7.30–16.30
Sunday 7.30-17.00
To pick up your number bib, you state your name and start number to the staff at the number bib distribution.
NUMBER BIBS
The number bib must be worn clearly visible on the chest or leg. Feel free to bring your own safety pins - reuse is good! There is a timing chip on your number bib, leave it there. NOTE: Number bib is only collected in Båstad, not at the start in Torekov!
Toilets
Toilets are available at the arena, the start, and at the energy stations.
EXTRA CLOTHES
If you want to leave outerwear (e.g. a thin jacket and trousers) at the start in Torekov, you take a bag, write your start number on a sticky note that you attach to the bag, and then hand the bag in at the designated place at the start. The clothes are transported to Båstad and picked up at the finish arena. Please note that it is not possible to leave entire bags and that we are not responsible for any valuables.
BAG DROP
New for this year is that you can leave your bag in a tent at the finish line and pick it up after the finish at a cost of SEK 50. However, we would like to see that those of you who have the opportunity to store your bag in your car or in accommodation nearby take advantage of that opportunity in the first place.
CHANGE OF NAME
Name changes can be made for a fee of SEK 200. You make the change yourself in the notification system. Here is a guide on how to do it. March 25th is the last day for name changes.
CAN YOU BRING YOUR DOG WITH YOU INTO THE RACE?
No, you can't. Partly out of consideration for other runners who may be afraid of dogs, but also out of an accessibility and safety aspect for all runners since large parts of the course are on narrow paths. So the dog can stay at home.
During the race
The course
The course is marked with flags and kilometer signs in the terrain. Some parts are really rocky and steep, take care! There will be more easy parts further on where you can run faster again.
NOTE: It is not allowed to run with shoes with metal studs, this is to protect our beautiful nature.
TASTE STATIONS
Hoka Torekov-Båstad Söndag invites you to get a taste of the Bjäre peninsula at three taste stations along the course and one in the finish. Besides the savoury taste menu, the usual energi will be provided, such as Enervit's sports drink, water, bananas etc.
Feel free to bring your own cup to use at the energy stations, then fewer paper cups are used, they are recyclable - but still.
A good idea is to bring your own liquid, then you can drink continuously and when it suits you.
CUT OFF TIMES
At the energy stations, a rope is pulled at a specific time. This means that it is not possible to continue the race after that. This is for your safety. If you have passed the last rope, i.e. Sinarpsdalen, in the right time, then just continue towards the goal - it doesn't close until everyone is back home!
| Station | K | Cut off |
| Glimminge Planteringer | 9 | 14.00 |
| Grevie Backar | 15 | 15.00 |
| Sinarpsdalen | 21 | 16.15 |
LITTERING
...along the course is of course completely prohibited and immediately leads to disqualification. There are garbage bags at the energy stations. Remember to sort waste - the mugs are recyclable like paper packaging and are thrown away in bags marked "Mugs".
IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH
If you are forced to break the race for any reason, go to the Race Office and inform the officials there that you have broken. This is important, so that a search effort is not started when you are actually sitting in the jacuzzi.
FIRST AID/MEDICAL CARE
First aid equipment is available at the energy stations. Medical care is available next to the arena in Båstad. The emergency number on your number plate goes to the Competition Management. In case of serious accident or illness - always call 112 immediately!
After the race
SHOWER & CHANGE
In Strandängsskolan's sports hall there is an opportunity to shower and change after the race.
