Clarion Hotel Energy is a perfect hotel for you as a participant.
Scandic Forum is also a good alternative.
No discount agreement for 2026 has been signed yet.

You get your start number in Forum Expo .
Opening hours are Friday, November 6 at 11 am – 19, and Saturday, November 7 at 09:30 – 11:45.

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

Sign up to start by:
Pool 1-4, kl. 11:20
Pool 5-7, 11:30
Pool 8-10, 11:40
Pool 11-12, 11:40 11:50

Place yourself in the pool that best corresponds to your expected finish time.

If you want to follow a speed limit holder, stand behind them.

Be aware that it’s difficult to overtake a pacesetter until after about 12 km, so line up in front of them if you want to keep a faster pace; which in turn might mean at the back of the group in front.

Each starting pool has its own color. See which color you have on your start number and look for the beach flag with the same color, to orient yourself before the start.

We have speedometers every 5 minutes between 1:20 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 get this year’s medal.
Then it’s a short way to the hall, where we have Imsdal water and Pepsi Cola.
IVAR provides a water truck.
Banana is good energy after the race.
Lapskausen is from Gabbas. Ask for vegetarian if you prefer.

Just inside the hall, those who have participated 5, 10 or 15 times can receive their well-deserved medal of honor.

The first three finishers will each receive NOK 18,000, NOK 12,000 and NOK 6,000.
If you set a new course record, you will receive a further NOK 12,000.

Best U23 (15-22 years) will receive NOK 6,000.

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.

GTI’s talent prize for runners under the age of 21 is awarded to one boy and one girl, with a total of NOK 25,000 for each.
The winners must be members 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 located on the floor where the football hall is.
