For the 13th time, Geiranger Sport Association invites to this challenging achievement, which must be among the most demanding half marathon races in the world.


Track description
The run starts in high summer at the Geiranger Fjord, and ends among 5-6 meter high banks of snow on top of Mount Dalsnibba 1500 metres above sea level. The rise varies from an average of 1:12 during most of the track, and 1:8 the last 5 kilometres. The first 16 km are asphalt road, while the last 5 km are on gravel road.
