Trail Run with Views and a Challenge

We are introducing an exciting new distance at the Mountain Festival: Børrenøse Skyrace – 7 km in spectacular high-mountain scenery. 

Børrenøse Skyrace is a trail run for both experienced mountain runners and those who wish to try trail running for the first time. Here you can challenge yourself in spectacular nature without having to tackle the very longest distances.

This 7 km long course with 450 meters of elevation gain offers you a unique running experience, where autumn's changing weather can present everything from wind and snow to clear views of Jotunheimen's majestic peaks. With its highest point at 1297 meters above sea level, this is a true high-mountain challenge – whether you run to win or want to enjoy the trip as a Saturday outing with the family.

Secure your spot in Børrenøse Skyrace and join us for a memorable mountain adventure! Registration closes at 10:00 AM on race day.
