Questions about poles and the 21 km Nordic Walk

1:Is it mandatory to walk with poles on the 21 km Nordic Walk?
Answer: Absolutely not.

Race Rules in Ecotrail Oslo?

You MUST read the race rules here. Or go to Race Rules and Awards via the link in the left menu (sub menu) here on our web site.

Har dere førstehjelp ute i løypa?

Vi har to ambulansebiler fra Norsk Folkehjelp på vakt, med Fossum og Lysakerelva som utgangspunkt. Den ene vil fra utpå dagen ha base i målområdet. Vi varsler også Norsk luftambulanse om arrangementet. Ellers minner vi om at du deltar på eget ansvar, men om uhellet skulle være ute må du ringe telefonnumre som er oppgitt på startnummeret. Er det ikke bruddskader eller livstruende må du finne ut hvor nærmeste transportpunkt er.
