St. Hansgaloppen

St. Hansgaloppen begins at Maridalen school and takes place on the Friday before St. Hans, the Nordic midsummer celebration. Sørbråten IL is the organizer, offering two standard road-race distances: 8.5 km or 14.5 km. The 14.5 km course is suitable for runners seeking a run longer than a short evening race but not yet ready for a half marathon. The race has been run almost forty times. A recent event saw 146 participants, creating an atmosphere of a local club race where everyday runners, age-group contenders, and skilled club athletes start together.
