Kongsvinger’s two forest circuits from Sæter farm
The main circuit follows forest road toward Tjernsli before returning past Bogersjøen, Bogerfløyta and Trettbråten. Prepare for varied footing and rolling terrain instead of treating the event as a uniformly paved city marathon. Check the final map before race day, including the point where full-marathon runners begin their second circuit.
The route page recommends carrying a drinking pack, vest or belt because early August can be warm. Make the choice around the actual forecast, your expected time between stations and familiar equipment. Nine station visits per circuit do not remove the need to understand their locations or to practise taking supplies without blocking other runners.
The participant page still labels its 11:00 main start and 10:00 early start as 2026 information. The same applies to its statement about having no maximum time. Ask for the current full-marathon start and supported window before choosing an early start or planning a walking strategy; neither arrangement should be assumed unchanged for 2027.
The older venue instructions name Sæter farm on Motjernsvegen, while showers are described at a different location in Kongsvinger. Check the updated arrival and post-race arrangements so companions do not confuse the two. Save the current withdrawal contact and tell staff if you leave the race. Keep litter until an authorised bin and use the final participant instructions to confirm any transport assistance, personal-supply restrictions and bib collection before travelling. The map page currently says a map is coming soon. Revisit it before departure rather than treating an older saved track as proof of the final 2027 route.
