Oslo Marathon

The Oslo Marathon is an annual marathon that takes place between the end of September and the beginning of October. There are four distances; marathon, half-marathon, 10 and 3 km.

The track goes along the seaside of Oslofjord. It is very flat, and competitors in the marathon run it twice.

History

The first Oslo Marathon took place in 1994. After some years without any long distance race, the capital of Norway re-launched the Oslo Marathon in 2004.

The number of participants in the 2010 edition was close to 16,000, of which almost 50% were women.
