Löplabbets Ribbemaraton

Löplabbets Ribbemaraton is a marathon-distance run in Norway held on the third day of Christmas, from Löplabbet's shop in Sandvika to its shop in Ski. It emphasizes participation over intense racing, with a small field that fosters a personal atmosphere; one edition saw 45 finishers. The start takes place outside the Sandvika store, with participants setting off in the morning for the point-to-point journey between the two Löplabbet locations. The route concludes outside the Löplabbet store at Ski Storsenter. Winter conditions mean the footing can vary from bare ground to ice. The event originated as a small gathering of friends during the Christmas holiday and later became an annual run between the stores. It is also listed on Löplabbet's marathon tracker on Facebook, attracting both dedicated marathon collectors and casual runners; one participant was completing their 288th marathon, while another was on their 29th.
