Ultra race of 53 km and 2900 vertical meters
This year's Mountain Festival & race are unfortunately cancelled due to very challenging weather conditions. We apologize for this and hope to see you all again next year.
For the second time, an ultra race is being held at Tyin Filefjell! This race is for those who want to run truly long and steep!
Tyin Filefjell Ultra is a unique ultra race. With the race scheduled for early October, one can never truly know what the high mountains will bring in terms of weather and conditions. Conditions can be challenging, with snow, fog, and wind, but it can also be glorious autumn weather with clear sun and magnificent views towards Jotunheimen and the mighty peaks of Hurrungane. Regardless of the weather and conditions, the course offers running over dramatic mountain ridges and through spectacular mountain landscapes.
The registration deadline is Friday, October 3rd at 12:00 PM. If you want to secure a bib number for one of 2025's most spectacular mountain races, register today!
