The 2021 Nordics Golden Trail National Series will take place at the following locations:

Salomon Hammer Trail – Denmark 11-12 May

The Salomon Hammer Trail is one of the most technical trail races in the north. The course will constantly push your limits with challenging uphill climbs and steep downhill passages in different trail terrains you haven’t explored anywhere else. The distance of 33K will also let you experience some of the most beautiful nature in Denmark and attractions such as Hammershus, Jons Kapel and Hammeren – we dare you to try it!

Bodom Trail – Finland 11-12 June

if running 21 km on narrow, winding forest trails along small lakes, rocky pine ridges through the gentle green nature that wakes up into spring sounds fascinating, then Bodom Trail is a perfect event for you. Many have noticed the awesomeness of running on these trails, which means that Bodom Trail has been sold out in many years.

Salomon 27K is definitely one of Sweden’s most beautiful trails, taking the participants from the start in Trillevallen over three mountains; Välliste, Grofjället and Hållfjället to the finish line in Ottsjö.
