RunningMan
Server-authoritative marathon races for Valheim: checkpoints, gear rules, live standings, WR/RULES Signs, and an F6 race panel.
Install on the dedicated server and on every player's client. Everyone who races needs the mod — otherwise they won't get the HUD, yellow announcements, sounds, or join UI.
Want some great fun with your friends? Spice up Valheim with a fair race: shared gear rules, and Running skill normalized to 50 for the event only. Add your Steam ID to the server adminlist.txt, open the menu with F6, and place a start line, checkpoints, and a finish line, and off you go!
