100M The Death March takes it's name in commemoration of the Carolean Death March.Â
The 100-mile distance represents the ultimate ultra-challenge in Mid Norway! The race starts and finishes at Teveltunet. The first 63 kilometers of the course traverse beautiful trails and explore a rich cultural landscape on the south side of highway E14. Beyond this, runners merge onto the 100K trail from MerÄker and continue on the north side of E14.
See the overview of checkpoints and stages for information about other services provided along the cours. In addition the runners are allowed to receive support from their own support crew at the following checkpoints (available by car): Kluksdalen, GilsĂ„, MerĂ„ker vgs., FunnsjĂžen and the camp school close to NĂžstmo. The drop bag will be made available at the camp school close to NĂžstmo after just approximately 93 km.Â
The runners should take special note about long stretches without aid stations. For instance the 30 km stretch between Kluksdalen (11 km) and GilsĂ„ (41 km). Note that the last 70 km after the drop bag are the most challenging with 4000 meters of ascent and some streches with marshy terrain. Be sure to have enough food in your pack to last between the four food stations at StorsjĂžhĂžgda, Rundfjellet, AngeltjĂžnn cabin and Huva. Â

The trail is available on Trace-de-Trail (click map and elevation profile above) and as gpx file from the download area. The course is also available on Garmin Connect.
GPS Device Requirement: For participants in the 100M, it is mandatory to use a GPS device with map display and with the correct gpx file loaded. The most common option here is to use an advanced sports watch, but it is also perfectly acceptable to use other GPS navigation devices. It is the runner's responsibility to ensure they have such a device, properly configured and with sufficient battery capacity for the entire race, or with the ability to charge along the way. Runners will also be equipped with a tracking device provided by MMC, but this is only for tracking and not for navigation. The tracking device also has an alarm function that can be triggered in emergency situations.
Course Description
MMC 100M starts at Teveltunet at 450 meters above sea level. The course goes around the entire municipality and is some of the most spectacular that TrĂžndelag has to offer in ultra running.
The first 60+ kilometers of the course run on the south side of the E14 highway, starting at Teveltunet, 450 masl, and continuing to MerÄker Upper Secondary School, 100 masl. Here the elevation profile is gentle, with only 1,250 meters of elevation gain and a net descent of 350 meters. There is a lot of runnable terrain, and runners get to enjoy beautiful mountain terrain and cultural landscape. Only one thousand-meter peak must be passed on this section, and it is, moreover, the lowest 1,000-meter peak in MerÄker - BlÄhÄmmÄrkleppen at 1,007 masl.
From MerÄker Upper Secondary School, the course follows the 100K route, and the course description for this section can be found on the information page for the 100K race.
0-10 km red-marked DNT trail heading south:
The start is at Teveltunet, and the course begins with a small loop on the gravel roads around Teveltunet and Rypetoppen, before joining the DNT trail toward Kluksdalen.
The course starts in typical TrĂžndelag forest and mountain terrain, with some bog sections. The first 8 km are hilly, with gentle climbs and some steep sections of 20-50 meters in length. The highest point is at 720 masl after approximately 7 km.
10-20 km red-marked DNT trail, heading south:
The first aid station comes at Kluksdalen (520 masl) after approximately 11 km.
After Kluksdalen, the course enters a 5-6 km bog section with some firmer areas. After that, it becomes mountain terrain and plateaus with alternating mountain and bog sections. The highest part of the course here is Klukskaftet at 900 masl after just under 18 km.
20-37 km Klukskaftet, BlÄhÄmmÄrkleppen and down to BjÞrneggen on red-marked DNT trail:
Over Klukskaftet and up to the checkpoint, the course still follows the red-marked DNT trail in relatively flat terrain at 900 meters elevation. The checkpoint is at the trail junction below BlÄhÄmmÄrkleppen after 21 km. This checkpoint only has snacks and drinks and is not a full aid station.
From the checkpoint, a loop of approximately 3.5 km must be run: First, the course goes southeast (toward Storerikvollen) following the red-marked trail for about one kilometer, then turns south up to MerÄker's lowest 1,000-meter peak, BlÄhÄmmÄrkleppen. There you can enjoy the view, and with good visibility you'll see the next 20 km of the course to the northwest in this fantastic mountain area. The descent from BlÄhÄmmÄrkleppen goes north/northwest so that the course returns to the checkpoint again.
Now the course again follows the red-marked DNT trail toward the northwest, following it all the way to BjÞrneggen at 600 masl. This stretch in HÄrrÄdalen runs through easily runnable, dry moraine terrain with a few bog sections and short climbs. BjÞrneggen is a self-service DNT cabin, and when you reach here you have completed approximately 37 km.
37-61 km old mining road and gravel/asphalt down to MerÄker:
This section starts with a gravel road to the mining community of GilsÄ at 530 masl, which is a checkpoint and aid station that comes after approximately 41 km. From GilsÄ, the course enters a short 500-meter bog section and continues westward along the old mining road called Gamle Stordalsvei. Here there is firm surface of forest road type that is easily runnable and completely without steep climbs.
From 52-61 km it is gravel road into MerÄker center and MerÄker Upper Secondary School at 100 masl (61 km). Here there is an aid station, restroom, and the opportunity to refuel with drinks and energy.
