Mountain run with views and 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 mountain race for both experienced mountain runners and those who want to try mountain running for the first time. Here you can challenge yourself in spectacular nature without having to tackle the longest distances.

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

Secure your place at Børrenøse Skyrace, and join a memorable adventure in the mountains!
