You get your start number in
Forum Expo
.
Opening hours are Friday November 7 at 11:00 – 18:30, and Saturday November 8 at 09:30 – 11:30.

We recommend arriving by foot, bike or bus, as parking spaces are limited.

P-Forum

and

P-Siddis

are the best options for those with a car.

You start on the cycle path right outside the Forum Expo exhibition hall in Tjensvoll.

Inside the hall you will find a tent, where you can change.
You place your luggage on the line that applies to your start number (1-199, 200-399 etc).
Unfortunately, we cannot assume responsibility for valuables, but we have a guard who looks after this.

We encourage as many people as possible to use the many toilets inside the hall. You have to go out to the right in the hallway to get to these. There will also be some toilets and urinals outside the start area.

Starting area and audience map

Line up for the start 10 minutes before your start time.
Place yourself in the pool that best corresponds to your expected finish time.
If you want to follow a pacer, you stand behind him.
Be aware that it is difficult to run past a pacesetter until after about 12 km, so line up in front of them if you want to keep a faster pace. 
Each starting pool has its own color. See what color your start number is and look for the beach flag with the same color, to orient yourself before the start.
We have speedometers every 5 minutes between 1:15 and 2:30 (and 2:45), so they will give you an indication of where you should place yourself. 

We want everyone to line up according to their own level, so if, for example, you have taken over a starting number, you can line up where is right for you.

The finish line is on the cycle path, just outside Forum Expo.
At the finish line, you first receive this year’s medal, before you leave, you are offered Imsdal water or Pepsi, then a banana. Inside the hall, you’ll get ragout from Gabbas. Ask for vegetarian if you prefer.
Jærbakeren will treat each participant to a rosibolle.

Right inside the hall, those who have participated 5, 10 or 15 times can be awarded their well-deserved medal of honour.
The first 3 finishers each receive NOK 15,000, 10,000 and 5,000.

If you set a new course record, you get an additional NOK 10,000.
Best U23 (15-22 years) receives NOK 5,000.
The best 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, best 50, 60, 70-year-old and oldest participant will receive a gift card from Løplabbet of NOK 1,000.

New this year is GTI’s talent award for runners under the age of 21. This is awarded to a boy and a girl, and is worth a total of NOK 25,000.   Winners must be a member of an athletics club in Rogaland.

Time for the award ceremony:

You can shower for free in
the Viking hall
after the race. To get there, you can walk across the bridge, just above the goal portal. The changing rooms are marked with “Ladies” and “Men”, and are located on the floor where the football hall is.
