The longer the distance, the more important it is to have a high degree of wind and waterproofing on jackets/pants. As a participant, you are responsible for making sensible choices here.

JTR-Items ordered during registration will be distributed at check-in and bib number pickup at Beitostølen on Thursday and Friday. Alternatively, you can pick them up on Racday at Friday or Saturday morning at Bygdin Høifieldshotel or Lodge 900 if you are unable to do so at Beitohallen.

NB. You are responsible for picking up the products you ordered. Products that are not picked up will not be shipped after the event.

There will probably be some extra JTR-products available for sale at check-in/bib pickup on Thursday and Friday at Beitostølen. In that case, you should arrive early.

Yes, we allow resale of starting spots. This must be completed well in advance of the event, and latest 19.7.2026.

Important Rules:

• It is NOT permitted to sell above the original purchase price.

• The seller MUST provide a valid receipt to the buyer.

• Any additional products (bus tickets, t-shirts, headbands) are transferred to the buyer and must be collected at registration and bib distribution (not mailed afterward).

This option will open up after registration has closed. At that time, we will post on our Facebook page with a description of the process.

All communication regarding the resale and purchase of entries will take place in our Facebook group, Jotunheimen Trail Run Community.

This service involves an administration fee (kr 150) for the buyer. See Eqtiming's description of the process here.

Please be aware that this solution might unfortunately be used for scams. Always ask the seller for a receipt if you want to take over a bib number. This receipt should have been received via email from Eqtiming. We recommend not purchasing the spot if you don't receive a valid receipt. The payment happens directly between the seller and the buyer, not through Eqtiming.

NB. Remember that in Norway, it's illegal to sell tickets for a higher price than the original for cultural and sporting events. This is to prevent speculation and black market sales.
