Walking Dead Ultra 100 miles
100 miles in paradise sounds wonderful, doesn't it? Run 5 laps on a 32km course to reach 100 miles, or start in one of the shorter classes. All classes start at the same time and have a maximum time of 36 hours.
The course mostly follows the Sörmlandsleden trail and the lap takes place at Torpet Paradiset where you can have your drop bag with clothes and energy. There is a toilet (dry toilet) and access to water (both cold and boiling), tea, coffee and broth. We may also offer some other snacks but bring your own energy that you need during the race.
You can get to the start by bus or car, parking is available but please carpool as space is limited.

If you are driving
Drive road 259 (Haningeleden) which runs between Huddinge and Haninge, until you reach the exit towards Paradiset which is signposted “Ådran”, “Ekedal” and “Paradisets raststuga”. From there, follow Ådravägen for about 1.6 km and note a long row of mailboxes on the right and the bus stop “Bruket”. A white sign with the words “Paradiset Raststuga” is also at this location. Turn left onto Årtorpsvägen, a narrow, hilly and winding “summer cottage road”. After about 1 km the road changes name to "Vandrarstigen" which then (after another about 700 meters) leads to Paradiset's parking lot.
If you are taking the bus
Line 709 from Huddinge station to the "Bruket" or "Ådran" stop. Line 709 has sparse traffic and its travel time from Huddinge station to Bruket/Ådran is 33 minutes.The "Bruket" stop is located at the intersection of Ådravägen and Årtorpsvägen northeast of Lake Ådran. From there it is about 1.7 km of road walk to Paradiset. You walk along Årtorpsvägen, which then changes name to Vandrarstigen, until you reach Paradiset.
