What is the Salomon Hammer Trail?

Organized by the local sports club Tejn IF/Løb (the "first movers" of Danish trail running since 2005), the Hammer Trail is a premier trail running event that turns the dramatic northern coastline of Bornholm into a grueling playground. The course is infamous for its relentless elevation changes, technical rocky footing, and unpredictable Baltic weather.

When is the next Hammer Trail event?

The event is split into two seasonal challenges:

 Salomon Hammer Trail Winter | January 30, 2027

Salomon Hammer Trail Spring | May 1, 2027
