About this race
Ringeriksmaraton takes place in mid-August at Vik in Hole, Buskerud, using Viksbakken by Vik School as a race location. It is Norway's largest marathon relay, covering the full 42.195 km distance, with team legs ranging from 4.3 km to 6.0 km. The event also offers a children's marathon and junior races, extending the day beyond adult relay teams.
The marathon course is a single loop, described as a city-to-city route near lakes and dams. Local runners and visitors participate, and the organizers call the day a "maratonfest," a running party rather than a formal race. Practical arrangements like buses, traffic adjustments, GPX files, participant photos, live tracking, and leg-specific training sessions indicate a well-organized event with many activities surrounding the races.
