HOKA Solastranden halvmaraton

HOKA Solastranden Halvmaraton is a winter road race in Sola, Norway, held in mid-January annually. The event is based at Sola Strandhotell, serving as the finish area. Runners can choose between 5 km, 10 km, or the half marathon. The shorter races are relatively gentle, with 14 meters of climbing over 5 km and 42 meters over 10 km. The half marathon, while still a road race, demands more from the legs with 222 meters of elevation gain. Spirit Friidrett organizes the series, formerly known as Spiritløpet. The hotel provides runners with toilets and heated indoor space before and after a January run by the coast.
