Course details

Course highlights

The marathon - 42.2 KM Start and finish in the city centre The marathon distance consists of the two half marathons, the 3-Lake Race 2022 edition and the Stavanger Half Marathon. There is approximately 330 meters of elevation gain along the way. The race is recommended for anyone who wants to experience the beautiful natural areas Stavanger has to offer. Just over half the race is on asphalt, the rest on very runable gravel. You run around the 3 lakes, and along both Hafrsfjord and Gandsfjorden. We think many people will enjoy running a little later than they might be able to on a good day. Instead, enjoy the surroundings and take in the joy of being able to keep up the pace all the way! Half marathon - 21 KM Start and finish in the city center The trail takes you up to Mosvatnet. This year we take the straight road out. Then you will pass the mighty "Swords in the Mountains" along Hafrsfjord. Then the trip starts downhill to the beautiful bike path along Gandsfjorden. In total, the trail has about 160 meters of climb, many of which come at the start. So don't run stiffly here. 80% of the trail is on asphalt, the rest on gravel. 5 km Starts at Mariero station, finish in the city center. This year we are moving the start back to Mariero station and running the last 5 km of the marathon course. V offers cruises at the following times: 20, 25, 30 and 35 minutes

The route was quite hilly, but beautiful. Loved every part of it. During the run you can choose between water or sport drink, you also get a banana. At the finish: water, some Nice pasta, cake and banana. Volunteers were very friendly and cheerfully. Not crowded at all, which Is very much appreciated. At the end you enter a park where the route was not clearly indicated and People were just walking about and this was a bit annoying...but that was the only downside of the while race...as said: I really enjoyed it and had a very good experience

Quite hilly but you get you see every aspect of Stavanger! Loved it

This is a really nice run with a scenic and beautiful route. Since I live in the area, it has become one of my favorite half. It is well organized and easy to get to, in the midle of Stavanger City center If the weather is good, the race is great. This being at the south-west part of Norway, you never know what weather will be like. Rain and wind is pretty normal, but August is usually warm enough Don't forget to do you sight seeing after the race, Stavanger being the gate-way to the Norwegian fjords. The Pulpit Rock and Kjerag are not to fare away.
