This is a real trail marathon which takes you through beautiful native forests and bogs of Estonia. As much as a running race, it is also a point to point expedition through Estonia’s uninhabited wilderness.

2024 races will take place on a different course than usual – we approach Aegviidu from the south!  Course starts from Estonian national writer Tammsaare’s famous book “Truth and justice” locations in Albu municipality and ends in the center of Kõrvemaa Landscape Conservation Area in Aegviidu. This run is not for the faint hearted. Dropping out is not possible. Once at the starting line, you have to push through until finish line on your own power. The reward is the most special achievement and memories that Estonian nature can offer.

Trail marathon course runs mostly on narrow forest paths and dirt roads, but there are also rough  sections without trail that really challenge the spirit. The easiest and some think most beautiful sections of the trail are the boardwalks through Kodru bog and Kakerdaja bog. The height differences are not large in Estonia and they are mainly formed by crossing some hills from Ice Age. The course is marked with ribbons, arrows and hiking trail signs. All participants can download the GPS data of the course. The course is open for 7.5 hours, which means that it can also be completed as a fast hike.

Those who do not yet dare to undertake the entire 42+ km distance, but still want to experience the trail, can participate in approx.  27.5 km long trail from Mõnuvere through Kakerdaja bog andforests to Aegviidu or  the approx. 15 km long trail that starts from Valgehobusemäe and also finishes in Aegviidu.
