Cycling & running events in Drammen, 2026

Drammen Training Notes

Running: Locals run Drammen from the river up into the woods. Hamborgstrømskogen is the handy forest hit, with Sturlas markakarusell giving the place its old-school anchor event feel. IF Sturla sits close to that scene, and club names like IF Hellas, Konnerud IL, and Strømsgodset IF are part of the local sports map. Drammen10K and Drammen Halvmaraton give road runners the big-city targets. Moovløpet keeps the family side alive. The route runs 9 km and gains 150 m from the car park by Landfalltjern.

Cycling: Locals ride a proper mix here. Drammen Cykleklubb covers terrain, road, and downhill, with that focus on sykkelglede, fellesskap og mestring. Drammenselva gives you the relaxed spin, and Spiralen gives you the bigger effort. Åssiden Forest Loop and Mjøndalen Ride are regular names for base miles. Åssiden Forest Loop is 9 km and climbs 552 m. Mjøndalen Ride is 8 km and climbs 459 m. Drammen Skisenter has singletrack, with 113 for drops and gaps, Bollestien on the fall line, and Hennings longer and less steep. DrammEnduro is the anchor race.

Season: Summer is the best stretch in Drammen, and the city can feel properly warm by Scandinavian standards. Locals use the mild season for Z2 along Drammenselva, forest runs in Hamborgstrømskogen, and bigger rides toward Lier, Mjøndalen, or Konnerud. Drammensfjorden keeps the city centre a little milder in winter and a little cooler in summer than nearby stations. Fairly cold winters change the rhythm for both sports. Runners still have road races like Nyttårsløpet and Adventsløpet on the calendar, while riders lean harder on gravel, singletrack windows, and smart layers after the first overnight freeze around 13 October.
