The longer the distance, the more important it is to have a high degree of wind and waterproofing on jackets/pants. As a participant, you are responsible for making sensible choices here.

Welcome to the Ultimate Trail Run Experience!

• To all participants: If you have to withdraw from the race, it is essential that you register a DNF (Did Not Finish) via the registration link you received from RaceTracker by email.

  If you are unable to do this yourself, you must immediately notify the nearest official or crew member so they can register the DNF for you. This is crucial for your safety and the safety of other participants, as it ensures we maintain full control over who is out on the course at all times.

• To 55K runners: If you don’t reach the checkpoint (CP) at Hakkesetstølen by 16:00 (8 hours), you must drop out of the race and register as DNF. This is important to ensure that safety can be maintained for all other participants. From Hakkesetstølen, it is only about 3 km along a trail directly down to Vestlia Resort (start/finish). You can also be picked up by car at this location. All participants who do not meet the time limit at Hakkesetstølen are personally responsible for their own transportation back to the start/finish at Vestlia or to their home.

• Prize draws during info & entertainment on Friday, 14. August.

• All finishers receive a GTR-finisher medal.

• Prizes for the top five men and women in each distance. The prize ceremony will take place in the finishing area at Vestlia Resort.

GTR-Items ordered during registration will be distributed at check-in and bib number pickup in Vestliahallen on Friday. Alternatively, you can pick them up on Saturday morning if you are unable to do so on Friday.
