The Lysefjorden Inn Ultra is a 62 km trail ultramarathon held annually in June near Sandnes, Rogaland, since 2013. It involves approximately 2,500 vertical meters of climbing, classifying it as a mountain ultra rather than a standard road race. Local race guides identify it as Rogaland's most challenging ultramarathon. Conditions can vary significantly, requiring participants to navigate sun, rain, and difficult terrain within a single event.
The course features rugged trails around Lysefjorden, with steep ascents and unique race elements such as ice bathing and bouldering. This event is part of the Lysefjorden XTrails series, which also hosts the 130 km Lysefjorden Rundt Extreme Ultra Trail, a longer race circumnavigating the fjord with 5,000 to 6,000 meters of elevation gain. This context highlights a local focus on demanding fjord-country routes over faster, urban courses.
