HTB Valestrandsmarka Rundt - juleløp 2026

HTB Valestrandsmarka Rundt - juleløp is a short Christmas race on Osterøy, Norway, run as part of the Valestrandmarka Rundt series. Organised by Osterøy IL/Friidrett, the race uses a single 4.4 km distance, making it a quick local winter run rather than a long-distance challenge. The route is on gravel, offering a different feel from a road race that can matter in December weather. Conditions are typically cold and damp, with snow common on many December days and temperatures near freezing. The juleløp designation reflects a small, practical holiday race shaped by winter ground and air.
