Why you dream of this race

THE DREAM

ABOUT THE RACE

A day you'll remember,
long past the finish line.

This is a time-trial-style race called the 'Norwegian Test.' On a flat 3,146m loop in Jessheim,

runners record 5km, 10km, and half marathon times, and because all categories start together, pace groups form naturally.

In the cool late-August weather, this is a race designed for PB checks.
