Torvikbukt rundt 2026

Torvikbukt Rundt is a 13.5 km road race held in Torvikbukt, Gjemnes municipality, Møre og Romsdal, typically on a Saturday in September. As Nordvestlandet’s oldest road race, it has taken place annually since 1973. Torvikbukt Idrettslag, the local club, is the organizer, and the event is frequently referred to as Nordvestlandet’s autumn classic. The primary course uses the 1973 route, featuring a combination of asphalt and gravel surfaces. It presents a moderate incline, with the ascent near the Vollabakken ski jump occurring approximately midway. Participants seeking a shorter distance can opt for a 5 km race, and a 7 km loop is available for families. The same small sports club also manages Torvikbukt 6 topper, a demanding half marathon locally promoted as Norway’s most difficult half marathon, indicating the village's significant running heritage relative to its population.
