Ørsta Fjellmaraton

Ørsta Fjellmaraton is a mountain running event held in June in the Sunnmørsalpane mountains, Ørsta, Møre og Romsdal. Participants can choose between a half marathon, a full marathon, and a 7 km route. There are options for competitive racing and a tour-march for those who prefer hiking. The half marathon is a single 21.1 km lap with approximately 1,350 meters of climbing. The full marathon covers 42.2 km and about 2,700 meters of elevation gain by repeating the lap. The short route follows trail and gravel roads. The event maintains an informal atmosphere, featuring a low entry fee and a "health obligation" to greet fellow participants on the course. A separate 300-400 meter race is available for children aged 3 to 12, who can complete multiple laps and will receive a medal.
