When you get to Rådhusplassen/city town hall, there is approximately 1km left to the finish line. It can be crowded there, it is important that you pay attention and that you follow the rule that it is not allowed to wear headset/music.
In the menu there is a link to the map, it is a good idea to look at it - then you are prepared! Otherwise, the trail is marked with white arrows (chalk on asphalt), signs and trail guards and, in some places, yellow-red ribbons.
FINISH
There is water, sports drink and popsicles at the finish line + you can fill a snack bag with nuts etc.
Seed bag medal for everyone.
Otherwise, there is outdoor and indoor seating and toilets at Vippa. There are no showers for the public, but many people jump into the fjord :)
Best of luck to you on Saturday 25 May - we look forward to seeing you at the finish line! :-)

21KM WALK
One of the most important goals with Ecotrail is to get as many as possible out in the wonderful nature that Oslo has to offer. Nordic Walking is the popular term for walking with poles. It is of course possible to walk the distance without poles, poles are NOT mandatory.
The path follows the beatiful Bogstadvannet and Lysaker river. From Lysaker you´ll walk by fjord all the way to the finish line. You will pass the wonderful Vækerø park and the country side of Bygdøy.
The last 5km by the fjord is on asphalt.
The very last kilometer goes over the old fort called Akershus Festning and to finish at the pier called Vippa.
