About this race
Vestfold Historic Ultra Trail is a Norwegian trail ultra held near Tønsberg in Vestfold during June, offering 50 km, 87 km, and 147 km distances. The longest race is almost entirely off-road, with only six percent on asphalt. The elevation gains are approximately 1,250, 2,700, and 5,000 meters for the respective distances.
The course crosses northern Vestfold's forests, cultural landscapes, and coastal terrain. The 147 km course goes through two counties and five municipalities. The event's name reflects the region's deep local history, with runners passing several historical sites. Organized by Dammen Endurance Events, it typically sells out quickly, attracting participants seeking a challenging Norwegian ultra rather than a casual trail run.
