GTR 16K
The GTR 16K is the perfect introduction to mountain running, offering a condensed but spectacular experience of the Geilo highlands. Starting at Vestlia, the route follows the peaceful shores of Ustedalsfjorden before making its way up toward Birgithovda. Once you reach the plateau, the course turns toward Birgitstølen before reaching the aid station at Hakkesetstølen at the 12 km mark. From here, you’ll enjoy the final stretch across the mountain before a fast and fun descent down the ski slopes, leading you straight to the finish line. Fast, fun, and scenic: The ultimate sprint to the top of the world.
Fast, flow and fun – how fast can you run?
