Hanatrappene Opp 2026

Hanatrappene Opp is a stair-climb race in Hana, Sandnes, run on the 306-step outdoor staircase between the old Hana school and the sports facility. The stairs serve as a school route and a training spot for local runners. Organizers describe them as likely Northern Europe's longest natural staircase. The format is straightforward: each runner starts individually, receives a time, and the organizers promise a hard effort with a “sweat guarantee.” The race consists of one steep climb, making the course easy to understand and difficult to misrepresent. The staircase was finished in the 1950s and concludes at a viewpoint over the area. At the top, Hana IL operates a kiosk and distributes prizes. Sandnes Idrettslag and Hana IL organize the event, which is designed for everyone from local fitness runners to individuals seeking a short, intense challenge with timing.
