Peters Trail: Run because you can. Run for Peter and the love.
Apr 16, 2024
Get to Småland and run for Peter and love, because you can. The
race takes place on May 18, 2024 and covers a stretch of Småland. Peters
Trail offers 104 km, 52 km, and a relay of 52 km. Genuine pure joy of
running.
It was during 2019 that Peter was killed during a run in Boulder, Colorado. His love, Helene, started Peter's Trail together with family and friends. In this way, Peter's spirit lives on in every step and breath.
The course follows a marked path and the terrain is mixed - everything from narrow and winding paths through deep spruce and deciduous forest to dirt roads, between lakes, across fields, and up mountains.
The start for 104 km is in Ryd, west of Jönköping, and after a few kilometers you run into the Södra Vätterleden in an easterly direction. Once you have passed through Huskvarna you are half way there, also the start for 52 km and the relay. From Huskvarna take John Bauerleden go north along Vättern and then head inland between the lakes, before the trail once again faces Lake Vättern.
The goal for all distances is Grännaberget, where there is food, drink, fire, music, warmth, community, and joy. Yes, everything you could wish for. Peter Jörnroth is the originator of the race and in 2015 the idea was born to organize an ultra race in around Lekeryd, Småland. Peter himself is a dedicated runner who competed both nationally and internationally and, among other things, completed the Ultra trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB) which is a 100 mile race through France, Italy, and Switzerland with more than 10,000 meters in altitude.
Run for Peter. Run, because you can. For So Much Love.
