NB: Cancelled!

This year's Mountain Festival & Race has unfortunately been cancelled due to very demanding weather conditions. We apologize for this, and hope to see you all again next year.

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 October, you never know what the high mountains will bring in terms of weather and conditions. The conditions can be demanding, with snow, 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.

The deadline for registration is Friday, October 3rd at 12:00. If you want to secure a starting number for one of 2025's most spectacular mountain races, register today!
