This year, unfortunately, we do not have an agreement for a hotel. This is because there are several other large events, and many other visitors this weekend. We therefore encourage you to try to reserve a room early if you need accommodation. If you do not get a room, it may still be possible to come by plane on the day of the race. The airport bus stops close to the start/finish area.

You get your start number in Forum Expo .
Opening hours are Friday November 3 from 12:00 – 18:30, and Saturday November 4 from 10 am to 12 noon.

We strongly recommend arriving on foot, bicycle or bus, as there are many other people at the fairgrounds this weekend. P-Forum and P-Siddis therefore have a limited number of parking spaces available.

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.
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.
At 12:00, the first three pools will be ready on the cycle path.

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 1:20 and 2:30, 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.

The finish line is on the cycle path, just outside Forum Expo.

At the finish line, you will first receive this year’s medal, before you leave, you will be offered water, Coke and a banana.

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.
New this year is that the best U23 (15-22 years) receives a prize of NOK 5,000.
The best 40, 50, 60 and 70-year-olds will receive a gift card from Løbblabbet worth NOK 500.

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.
