Skatås mörkaste

Yes, mandatory. Since Skatås mörkaste is held on a dark November Friday evening, a headlamp with sufficient lumens (200+ minimum) and a backup light are strongly recommended. Wear reflective clothing or a vest to be visible to other runners and any support vehicles.

Trail running shoes with good grip are essential, as the courses include forest paths, roots, and muddy sections. Dress in layers: a base layer, a windproof jacket, and tights or shorts. Bring a light waterproof layer in case of rain. Avoid cotton; use synthetic materials.

Göteborg in November is cold (2-8°C), damp, and often rainy or overcast. Expect temperatures near freezing after sunset. Be prepared for mud and wet leaves. Check forecast a few days before and adjust clothing accordingly.
