The path of Kullamannen
Kullamannen by UTMB is not just an extraordinary race set in the stunning landscapes of Sweden—it is a trailblazer in sustainability within the world of outdoor sports. We are committed to minimizing our environmental impact while promoting sustainable practices at every stage of the race, a commitment we have upheld since the event's inception 15 years ago.
Our sustainability efforts include:
Local Prioritization: We have always prioritized local communities and businesses.
Zero-Waste Mindset: Our race encourages participants to adopt a zero-waste approach.
BYOU (Bring Your Own Utilities) Policy: We enforce a no-disposable-cups policy at aid stations.
Trail Restoration: We actively clean and restore the trails after the race.
Transportation Initiatives: We provide information on public transportation options and encourage shared travel among participants.
Locally Sourced Prizes: Our prizes are sourced from local producers and businesses.
Community Partnerships: We collaborate with local sports associations and other non-profit organizations.

Your donations
We love the trails we invite you to run on and the nature of our two peninsulas, including the wild sea surrounding us. This is our home on this planet, and that is why it’s so important for us to preserve and take care of this place.
Last year, Kullamannen by UTMB donated 200 euros to Sinarpsdalens Friends to help build new paths and restore the old ones in the beautiful Sinarpsdalen.
This year, we invite you to help us by donating any amount, with all funds going directly back to local communities working on our trails. The exact allocation will depend on the needs we identify in the coming months before the race. During race weekend, we will provide a report on this year’s donations. Thank you in advance for helping us!
