Sherpatrappa Opp

Sherpatrappa Opp is a short uphill race held in Tromsdalen, within Troms og Finnmark, northern Norway. The entire course measures just 1 km but gains 270 meters in elevation, making it more akin to a stair-climb mountain challenge than a typical road race. It takes place in late summer, with all administrative aspects like registration, start lists, information, and results managed via the event website and Facebook. The course is straightforward: participants ascend Sherpatrappa, achieving significant elevation gain over a minimal distance. Results indicate a competitive local field, with the men’s winning time under eight minutes and multiple runners finishing between eight and eleven minutes. The participant list features athletes from running clubs, ski and biathlon clubs, football, cycling, workplace teams, and independent runners, presenting it as a focused Tromsø-area hill competition drawing both specialists and individuals from local sports groups.
