IMPORTANT
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.
On the website 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.

Best of luck to you on Saturday 25 May - we look forward to seeing you at the finish line! :-)

THE TRAIL:
If you take a close look at the profile for the 31 km course, you will hopefully get an idea about taking it easy from start. The first 3 km from Sørkedalen is pretty tough. After climbing the first kilometeters on gravel road you will enter technical paths. After 10 k you´ll find the only service station with food for the 31 km, before you continue by the pretty lake Bogstadvannet and down by the beautiful Lysaker river. The last 10 k has about 5 km asphalt, and where you can feel the breeze from the Oslo fjord.
The very last kilometer goes over the old fort called Akershus Festning and to finish at the pier called Vippa.
