Gjesdal Trailrun 2026

Gjesdal Trailrun begins and ends on the athletics track at Gjesdal IL's facility in Solas, Algard, immediately leading runners onto adjacent trails. It is a trail race and fitness run, distinct from road events, featuring a 10 km main route, a 6 km shorter route, and a 1 km children's race. The event caters to both competitive runners and those seeking a leisurely mountain excursion. The main course directs participants northeast from the stadium, ascending both Kodlifjellet and Hafjellet. The shorter course ascends only Kodlifjellet. These hills are situated near Algard's neighborhoods and are frequently visited by locals for hiking, meaning the race utilizes established trail networks. The terrain is open, offering expansive views from the summits, though the footing presents challenges with stones and slick patches, making appropriate trail footwear advisable.
