About the race
Ørsta Fjellmaraton is a mountain running event held in the heart of the Sunnmøre Alps. The 12th edition takes place on 5 June 2027 and combines timed competition and a walking event. The organiser describes the event as social and informal and notes a low entry fee. Participants are asked to observe a health duty when meeting others on the course.
The event offers several distances on trails and gravel roads. Distances include:
- 42 km full marathon on mountain terrain
- 21 km half marathon with panoramic views
- 7 km short route on trails and gravel
There is also a children’s race for ages 3–12. The children’s course is about 300–400 m and participants may run multiple laps; all children receive a medal. Registration for the children’s race is handled at the start and information about start times is provided by the organiser on their channels.
The event is based in Ørsta and highlights the surrounding mountain scenery. It presents both competitive and non-competitive options and includes a walking category alongside the timed races. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
