Dundret Extreme Running

Dundret Extreme Running (DXR) is a challenging recreational race held in late August on Dundret in Gällivare. The race has a long history, dating back to its first edition in 1997, and offers several distances across varied terrain, including sections of off-trail running and bog running. The longest course is 22 km with approximately 700 metres of elevation gain. Runners climb to the mountain prize at Dundret’s mast summit, then run around the peaks before finishing at Hellnerstadion. DXR is a race for runners who want to test their endurance and enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery.

The 22 km route follows marked trails and paved road. Shorter distances (2 km, 6 km, 10 km and 14 km) are also available, with sections of bog running and a start from the summit; a lift ticket to the start is included (though the lift has been unavailable in some years due to operational disruptions). More information about the shorter distances is available on DXR’s own website. Trail running, elevation gain, lift ticket included for certain distances, registration via MittLopp.se, no on-site registration.
