Saudehornet rett opp - 1303 -

Saudehornet Rett Opp - 1303 is a Norwegian mountain race held at Vikegeila P-plass in Ørsta. It offers a short 2 km option and a main route of approximately 5.8 km. Ørsta IL Friidrett organizes the event, scheduled for August. The name reflects the race's objective: Saudehornet reaches 1,303 meters, and the course takes runners from the town level directly towards this summit via trail and mountain terrain. The main route is straightforward in its profile: around 5.4 km with about 1,300 meters of elevation gain. The initial 700 meters traverse the center of Ørsta. The course then ascends a 2.1 km hill, rising from approximately 30 meters to 400 meters, before continuing on the mountain race track towards the western peak. This event suits those who prefer steep uphill running over strategic pacing; one participant aimed for 1 hour 10 minutes to reach the summit, even after arriving from work, wearing new shoes, carrying a 2.5 kg backpack, and without any hydration or nutrition.
