Races in Norway

The northernmost country on the European continent, Norway is not part of the European Union 🇪🇺. You’ll definitely need a visa to go and discover the wonders of this country, including the famous fjords. These sea inlets cutting into the land would number around a thousand across the whole Norwegian territory... The best-known of them is the Sognefjord, 200 kilometers long, which begins north of Bergen. The highest mountains ⛰ surrounding it will give you a 1,700-meter view over the fjord... Enough to leave you speechless 😮. Still in the south of the country, if you travel between Oslo and Alesund, you will surely take the RV63... Behind this anonymous name lies the Trollstigen, a magnificent route that overlooks the Geiranger Fjord in particular. Oh yes, trolls, those little evil creatures, have held an important place in Scandinavian culture. They rather represent the wild, untamed side of Mother Nature... It’s true that Norway’s natural environment makes humans seem very small, especially in winter ❄️... You’ll judge for yourself 🤷🏻‍♂️. Apart from the capital Oslo, cities like Bergenor Trondheim are very pleasant to visit. Heading up along this long, narrow country, after having explored the magnificent Lofoten Islands, you will no doubt pass through Tromso before heading to the North Cape, between the Norwegian Sea and the Barents Sea. Symbolically, this is the northernmost point of the continent. Depending on the time of year you travel to Norway, you may get to experience the famous midnight sun ☀️... Between May and July, in the north of the country, the sun doesn’t set—or barely does... Something to experience at least once in your life!

Find below the race calendar in Norway. Trail, walking, half marathon or marathon, there’s everything you need in the land of salmon! Of course, in a country as green and nature-filled as Norway, trail races are plentiful! Ready for something big?! The point-to-point race Oslo Bergen Trail is simply more than 500 km long! Wow, speechless again 😮. Friends who came with you to the Norwegian capital to see you off can run or walk in the EcoTrail Oslo, a race committed to the planet. Many races are on the program for this event, which counts toward the UTMB® World Series. On the road, at the very north of the country near Tromso, the Midnight Sun Marathon offers its runners insane light. Exactly the right time of year. So you’ll have the chance to run a night race... during the day!

You won’t come back from Norway unscathed.
