Vestfold Historic Ultra Trail

The Vestfold Historic Ultra Trail is a trail ultra held in Vestfold, Norway, beginning in Revetal each June. Participants can select from three distances: 50 km, 87 km, and 147 km, allowing for either a lengthy mountain-style run or a demanding multi-hour ultra effort. The 147 km route involves approximately 5,000 meters of climbing, with the 87 km and 50 km races also featuring significant elevation gain for their respective lengths. The primary course incorporates minimal road sections, with only about six percent of the route on asphalt. It crosses the forests, cultural landscapes, and coastal areas of northern Vestfold, passing through two counties and five municipalities. The "Historic" designation is accurate, as runners encounter sites connected to Norwegian history along the course. Dammen Endurance Events is the organizer, and registration often closes rapidly, indicating its popularity with experienced trail and ultra runners in Norway.
