Sandnesløpet starts and finishes at Sandnes stadion in Sandnes Idrettspark. The March race day offers distances for adults and children. Runners can choose a half marathon, 10 km, 5 km, or a children's race, suitable for those aiming for a personal best, competing with a friend, or seeking a running objective. Sandnes Idrettslag Friidrett organizes the event, with EQ Timing managing entries and timing.
