Stora Stöten Run 2027

Experience the historic charm and natural beauty of Falun, Sweden at the Stora Stöten Run. This trailrunning race offers runners an unforgettable journey through one of Sweden's most unique cultural landscapes — the UNESCO World Heritage site around Falu Mine.
Participants have three distances to choose from: a challenging 21.6 km route that winds its way through ancient trails and blueberry pine forests, a scenic 13.6 km loop that showcases the area’s rich history, or a shorter yet no less picturesque 5.6 km course for those looking for an introductory taste of this historic trail.
The race routes take you over massive slag heaps meticulously constructed by hand using shovels and wheelbarrows centuries ago. These imposing structures stand as silent witnesses to Sweden's industrial past, adding a layer of historical significance to every step runners take.
As the day unfolds, runners will find themselves immersed in lush pine forests dotted with vibrant blueberries that dot the landscape during late summer. The air is filled with the scent of pines and earth, creating an atmosphere that feels both tranquil and invigorating.
The Stora Stöten Run not only celebrates Falun’s rich industrial heritage but also supports local initiatives through its partnership with key sponsors such as Atea, Falu Kommun, Stora Enso Skog, YesBox, and Intersport Falun. These collaborations ensure that the race remains a cornerstone event for trailrunners seeking both adventure and historical insight.
