Knarvikmila 10 km 2026

The KnarvikMila 10 km begins and ends at Knarvik Stadion in Knarvik, Norway. It takes place in early September as part of The Great Fjord Run. This 10 km race is one of several options during a larger race week, which also includes 3 km and 5 km distances. September weather in Knarvik is typically cool for running, with temperatures usually between 10-19°C, frequent cloud cover, and moderate rain. The course follows roads and tracks in the Knarvik area, where runners have assembled each autumn since 1982. Helge Brekke initiated the event, and the athletic association FIL-AKS77 continues to organize it. The race attracts a diverse field, not exclusively fast specialists; a recent edition saw approximately 6,000 participants, assisted by around 500 volunteers. The broader event includes concerts, a conference, and a trade fair, positioning the 10 km within a local festival as much as a running competition.
