Race guide

Sixteen laps and a personal nutrition table in Eidsvoll

The repeated circuit makes lap accounting central to the race. Use the organizer’s marked start adjustment and timing instructions rather than stopping when a GPS watch reaches an expected distance. Watches can accumulate error over repeated corners, and another runner leaving the course may simply have entered a shorter race.

Your personal table is passed every lap, which allows a simple supply layout. Label bottles and food, decide in advance what you expect to take on each passage and practise retrieving it without disrupting other runners. Frequent access does not mean you must stop at every pass; use the nutrition approach you have tested in training.

The organizer describes a flat course and provides a lap-time calculator. Use that tool to understand steady splits while leaving room for congestion, weather and support stops. Do not turn the venue’s personal-best theme into a requirement to maintain an unsuitable pace when conditions or your readiness differ from the plan.

The site publishes race dates through a dynamic calendar and directs entries to EQ Timing. Confirm that the selected session actually includes the marathon, with its own start and support period, before booking travel. The school is the stated start and finish base, with parking and indoor facilities described on the website. Recheck access and collection instructions for the selected date; a course description alone does not establish that a staffed marathon is taking place on any particular weekend. Keep a manual lap tally as a backup and resolve any timing query with officials before leaving.
