Event area

Terrain

The terrain you will encounter is mostly open forest terrain with rocky outcrops, heather, marshland, and pine forest. Large areas are flat and easy to run on, but there are also slightly hilly areas with loose ground, pits, and spruce forest.

The sprint will take place in Bø Sommarland. Here, running will involve navigating between slides, playgrounds, buildings, and other activity areas. There are some open spaces, fences, and roads, with elements of tall spruce and pine forests.
