A high-mountain 42 km route, with historical checkpoint times
This is mountain running rather than a standard road marathon. Prepare for sustained climbing, descending and changes in footing with equipment you have already tested. Exposure above the tree line makes the current weather, mandatory kit and organizer alerts central to the decision to start; a valley forecast or road-running finish estimate is insufficient.
The previous route reached its first aid around thirteen kilometres and continued through further mountain sections before the finish. Plan carrying capacity around the current guide, terrain and your expected time between support points. A kilometre gap on steep ground can take much longer than the same gap on a flat road.
The 2026 checkpoints included Remmasætra around twenty kilometres with a noon cutoff, then later gates at Vekveselva and Vangslia. Those times belong to that edition and must be replaced by the next race’s published schedule. When assessing readiness, allow for climbs, stops and a margin at every gate rather than considering only the final finish time.
The old route included a short asphalt section and a final approach beside Route 70 before a closing climb into town. Remain attentive after the major summits; the last kilometres still require following the correct route. For a future entry, confirm the start bus, kit inspection, finish pickup and any route changes as one complete plan before travelling.
2027 date status
The exact next-edition date is awaiting confirmation. A previous race month does not establish a future event. Wait for an organizer announcement that names this race and distance before calculating a taper or booking race-specific travel.
Checked 2026-09-06 against the official organizer page. The organizer page loaded, but it did not publish a machine-readable exact 2027 date for this named race during this check.
Last-known race profile
These details identify the race page; they do not establish the next edition's operations. The elapsed date and race date have been removed until an exact organizer date is available.
Training while the date is unconfirmed
- establish repeatable weekly frequency before event-specific intensity;
- extend easy endurance only when the following week remains recoverable;
- practise fueling and equipment in ordinary training rather than guessing race-day rules;
- keep strength and recovery compatible with the primary sessions; and
- anchor a specific block only after the organizer publishes the exact race date.
