Åstveit 3000 2026

Åstveit 3000 is a 3000-meter track race held at Åstveit Idrettspark in Åsane, Vestland. It serves as a November form test for runners from the Bergen area. I.L. Norna-Salhus organizes the event, which is part of the Åsane running series. The format is straightforward: participants provide their best time or season best, allowing the organizer to create evenly matched heats. This helps runners compete against others at a similar level. The race originated as a small event for a running group before opening to the public, attracting more interest than anticipated and requiring two heats. The results feature a diverse field, including young runners like Aurora and Even Veen Torkildsen, and older athletes such as Harald Nygård and Alf Sverre Fjeldstad, whose age-group times were highly ranked in Norway.
