Dalborgløpet

Dalborgløpet is a 5 km race held during Christmas week in Gjøvik, Norway, taking place at noon on the third day of Christmas. The start is at Vind Idrettsplass, close to Gobb-hallen. The event maintains a straightforward format: a mass start, timing, separate men's and women's categories, and a modest prize for the first-place male and female finishers. The course runs along Dalborgvegen on the upper side of Gjøvik. It involves a turn-around at the 2.5 km mark, with the return journey following the same path. The terrain is gently undulating. The winter conditions are a factor, with participants advised to carry their own hydration, dress warmly, and wear footwear with good grip or spikes. The race is informal and welcomes participants of all abilities, from competitive club runners aiming for times near the course record to those seeking holiday exercise.
