Preikestolen Trailrun 2026

Preikestolen Trailrun is a 20 km terrain race in Rogaland, starting from Preikestolen Basecamp in Jørpeland around early July. It is a challenging mountain trail run, with approximately 1,200 meters of elevation gain packed into a short distance. The organizer likens it to following in the footsteps of Rockman, minus the swimming, emphasizing steep running, rough terrain, and requiring physical movement. The route combines skyrunning, technical trail running, and climbing through forest, across scree, and up to peaks overlooking Lysefjorden. Runners will also navigate a less-traveled path towards Preikestolen before descending into old, rugged terrain. This event suits participants comfortable on uneven rock and steep descents, rather than those solely focused on a fast 20 km time.
