Karmøy Marathon took place.
Through 3 towns, with a cake man for the children, medals and massages at the finish line and a Viking status that lasts until next year, this is an event you just have to make room for in the pre-Christmas calendar 2024.

“Then my fifth Karmøy Half Marathon was completed. A race that has become a tradition for me .
My goal this time was to enjoy myself and experience how nice it is to run. It was hard to run against the wind and in the cold, so when there was a bit of a tailwind I was very happy. Even though I didn’t achieve a personal best, I’m left with an incredibly good running experience and feel very proud of my own efforts. .
The reason I come back to the Karmøy Marathon is because it’s a really great event. What was nice is that the half marathon course goes back and forth and I meet runners from different distances and at different levels. A lot of people greet and cheer each other on as you pass. One of the highlights after the race is a massage from Klinikk Selsaas.
This was my last planned race for 2023, but I’ve already signed up for the Solastranden 10 km in January and the Robustløpet Half Marathon in February.“
