Moaløpet

Moaløpet is an autumn trail race held in Bokemoa, a wooded area near Stokke, Norway. The primary distance is 5 km, open to runners aged 16 and over. A recreational "trimklasse" also covers 5 km for those preferring a non-competitive run. The event accommodates children with races for the youngest (500 m), ages 8-11 (1.2 km), and ages 12-15 (2.4 km or 3.2 km). The 5 km route incorporates the lower loop and two larger circuits within Bokemoa. Younger participants have a dedicated 1.2 km loop. Additionally, there are 3 x 1.2 km relays for women's, men's, and mixed teams. The children's races often attract large numbers, with over 100 participants recorded in the youngest categories, highlighting the event's focus beyond the elite 5 km field. In the competitive 5 km, Moa Bollerød of Sem IF set a course record of 14:56, narrowly defeating Åsmund Sunde Førde by one second. Marianne Andersen of Kristiansand Løpeklubb won the women's race in 18:44.
