Start number distribution

You get your start number in Forum Expo .
Opening hours are Friday November 1, 11:00 – 18:30, and Saturday November 2, 10 am – 12 pm.

Transportation

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.

Changing area, luggage storage, toilets and starting area

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.

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.
Please note that it is difficult to run past a pacer until after about 12 km, so line up in front of this if you want to keep a faster pace.
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 pacers every 5 minutes between 1:15 and 2:30, plus 2:45, so they will give you an indication of where you should position 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.

Finish line

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 get lapskaus. Ask for vegetarian if you prefer.

Frequently Asked Questions

We run once again around roundabout Tjensvollkrysset. Therefore the start is now outside Stavnger Ishall.

We will use an image recognition service called Pica. It works in such a way that there will be separate symbols on each side of your start number. By creating a separate profile on getpica.com , and using your assigned code, you can access the photos that have actually been taken by you. Feel free to also allow face recognition, then the chance that the pictures of you will be recognized increases. You can share the photos you select on social media in a simple way. You can find an illustration of the process here . Please note that we cannot guarantee that photographs have been taken of you, or that all of you have been recognised.
The various albums will be posted on the race’s Facebook page and on Pica in the days after the race day. Eventually, all the photos will also be on Flickr .

No, we will not allow participation with prams, wheelchairs or the like, due to our focus on safety for everyone involved in our event.

We are sold out for t-shirts, with a possible exeption for the size large
