000 / The course
Building our first 21K around Södra Berget.
Berget
Sundsvall · 62°N
Run outside.
A new running club built around Södra Berget.
Road. Trail. Hills. Snow.
Small groups. Good miles. Bad weather.
Free to run. No membership required.
We’re just getting started.
Berget starts here.
One mountain.
A few trails.
A few people who want to run them.
We’re not trying to build the biggest run club in town.
We just want to make it easier to get outside, discover new routes and have someone next to you when the hill gets stupid.
Some runs will be easy.
Some will be long.
Some will involve mud.
Some will probably involve significantly more elevation than advertised.
We start together. We finish together.
Next run
Berget / 001
Training times will be published soon.
The first sessions are being planned. Check back here, or follow us for updates.
Start / Friluftscentrum · Södra Berget · Sundsvall
Three starts.
One Berget.
Södra Berget is bigger than one trailhead. Different sessions start from different sides of the mountain.
01 / Hillstamon
Hinderbanan
For trail, technical terrain, hills and sessions where going up is probably part of the plan.
02 / Friluftscentrum
Toppen
Our natural meeting point for easy runs, longer trail sessions and miles that might end with coffee.
03 / Sidsjöbacken
Backen
For climbing, winter sessions, hill repeats and days when flat running feels unnecessary.
Check the session. Find the start. Come run.
Berget / Runs
Road
City miles. Sometimes the easiest way to get outside is simply to start running.
Trail
Roots. Rocks. Mud. The kind of running Berget was made for.
Up
We go up. That’s basically the session.
Night
Headlamps on. The trails feel completely different after sunset.
Long
No rush. Bring snacks.
Away
Sometimes we leave the mountain. Åre. Höga Kusten. Somewhere else worth running.
No right pace.
Just the right attitude.
Training for an ultra?
Running your first trail?
Getting back into running after some time away?
Come along.
Berget isn’t about being the fastest person there.
It’s about getting outside and putting in some good miles with good people.
No one gets dropped.
Berget / 000
21K test event
September 2026
Before Berget becomes a race, we’re going to test what one could feel like.
We’re building a roughly 21 kilometre route around Södra Berget. It starts at Hillstamon, links the other sides of the mountain, and comes back again.

Back to Hillstamon.
No timing chip.
No podium.
No giant start arch.
No pretending we’ve already figured everything out.
This is Berget / 000.
The prototype.
We’ll run the course with a small group. Test the trails. Test the climbs. Test the flow. Find the sections that are brilliant. Find the sections that aren’t. Then we’ll make it better.

When
Sept 2026
Elevation profile coming soon.
Limited spots.
What happens after 21K?
We don’t know yet.
And that’s kind of the point.
Maybe 21 becomes 25.
Maybe one day it becomes 50.
Maybe winter deserves its own Berget.
Maybe none of that happens.
Right now we’re interested in one thing:
building something worth coming back to.
One run at a time.
Berget / Partners
Partners coming soon.
We’re talking to a few brands and local partners who share the same idea: getting people outside and running.
If you want to be part of the first Berget test event, get in touch.
62°N
Built in the north.
Forest above the city.
Long summer evenings.
Dark winter afternoons.
Rain. Snow. Roots. Rock.
And enough hills to keep things interesting.
Berget doesn’t need mountains in the Alps.
This is ours.
Why Berget?
Because that’s what people here already call it.
Berget.
Södra Berget.
The forest above Sundsvall.
The place you go when you want trails, hills, snow, quiet or just somewhere better to run.
So that’s where we’re starting.
Small groups.
Good miles.
Berget sessions are intentionally small.
Not fifty people chasing a photographer.
Not a race every Tuesday.
Just enough people to make the run better.
You should be able to learn someone’s name.
You should be able to hear the person running next to you.
And if someone has a rough day: we wait.
Come as you are.
You don’t need matching gear.
You don’t need a race entry.
You don’t need an impressive Strava.
You don’t need to know anyone.
Bring shoes.
Dress for the weather.
Check where we’re starting.
Show up.
That’s enough.
Berget / Field notes
We’re starting from zero. So we’re keeping track of what happens. Routes we find. Runs we like. Places worth returning to. Things we learn while building Berget.
001 / First run
The beginning.
002 / Three starts
Why Berget doesn’t have one front door.
003 / Night
A headlamp changes everything.
Maybe one day Berget has a door.
A place to meet.
Change.
Leave a bag.
Drink coffee.
Try a pair of shoes.
Talk about running longer than anyone reasonably should.
Then do the important thing:
Leave.
Go outside.
Run.
Come back.
For now, the mountain is enough.
This is Berget.
Not finished.
Not polished.
Not big.
Just starting.
Södra Berget.
Sundsvall.
62°N.
And a few people who think running outside is better together.
Come run.
No membership.
No complicated onboarding.
Choose a session.
Check the start.
Show up.
