Gjesdal Trailrun begins and ends on the athletics track at Gjesdal IL’s facility at Solås in Ålgård. It is a trail and recreational run held in the hills northeast of the track, featuring a 10 km main course over Kodlifjellet and Håfjellet, a 6 km course ascending Kodlifjellet only, and a 1 km children’s race for the youngest participants.
The course largely uses established hiking paths through open terrain near the Ålgård settlement. Kodlifjellet and Håfjellet are well-known local peaks, frequently visited by residents, and their summits offer expansive views of the surrounding scenery. The paths contain rocky and slick sections, making trail shoes with good traction a practical option. Gjesdal IL offers the race to individuals seeking a mountain excursion and to runners aiming for a competitive effort.
