About Niklas

Living in Glumslöv, Niklas Yjord is a 45-year-old site manager who keeps himself grounded in ultrarunning. His transformation from a young military recruit to a seasoned runner is evidence of his never-ending quest for self-discovery.

Having competed in various Swedish races, Niklas also faced the challenging Mont Blanc Ultramarathon in 2023.This race is known for being among the hardest in the world. This tough 17-mile route winds through the highest peaks of the French Alps, with over 30,000 feet of ascent, tricky paths, and unpredictable high-alpine weather.

What motivates someone to tackle such a daunting challenge? For Niklas, it’s the belief that with the right mindset and unwavering determination, anyone can conquer ultrarunning. He has seen personally how remarkably adaptive humans can be when faced with obstacles and setbacks. His inspirational viewpoint is based on the belief that we are capable of far more than we think we are.
