Gruemila is a 10km road event that, together with half marathon (Grue half marathon) and Grue Backyard, makes up the 'Grueløpene' series.

Starting in 2026, half marathon is held in May, while Gruemila moves to autumn as a separate event.

Course has been certified by World Athletics (WA), thanks to a near-flat course with virtually no elevation change and a net downhill besides.

The organizers describe this course as 'Norway's fastest 10km course,' and the 2026 race also serves as a trial run ahead of Grue hosting the 2027 Norwegian 10km Road Championships.

Typical race-season temperature: around 9°C (48°F)
Short sleeves or light long sleeves + arm warmers
