JTR MARATHON
This Marathon route begins at Bygdin, sharing the initial mountain segment with the Ultra towards Seksin. Runners reach the turnaround point at Yksendalsbu (halfway), aided by stations at Skamdalen 16 km and Olevegen 32 km. The demanding return journey includes a scenic deviation via Skjetning, following the majestic Olefjorden. A final ascent near the Bitihorn parking lot precedes a fast final sprint, delivering runners back to the Bygdin finish line.
Not anyone can run a marathon in the mountains, can you?
