A spectacular race in a majestic mountain landscape

For the second time, an ultra race is being held at Tyin Filefjell! This is a race for those who want to run really long and steep!

Tyin Filefjell Ultra is a unique ultra-race. With a race date in early September, you never know what the high mountains will bring in terms of weather and conditions. The conditions can be demanding, with rain, fog and wind, but there can also be glorious autumn weather with clear sun and magnificent views of 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.
