Kullamannen by UTMB is in many ways the exact opposite event compared to Mallorca on the same weekend. Not just on the opposite side of Europe, this event is also known for its dark days, broody weather and mystique that is very much not “vacation island” vibe. And that is exactly why people love this event and come back to it every year. it’s one of the fastest events to sell out each year. Kullamannen is truly one of the most unique events on the UTMB World Series circuit and a clear testament that joining the UTMB World Series doesn’t mean a race will lose all its local and unique charm. This year didn’t disappoint with a brutal 52% DNF rate in the 100M race.
