Fall 23 – Ultra runner Simen Holvik

By now, quite a few people know about Simen Holvik and his race history.
2023 started with 2nd place in the ultra race "Brazil 135 Ultramarathona".
He describes another particularly strong performance the same summer during the "Badwater 135" (considered the world's toughest road ultra race) as follows: "The race in Death Valley on July 4 was historic. Not only did I become the first Norwegian to complete this historic race, but I also came in first place among the men. It was a special experience to run almost 220 kilometers in up to 50 degrees. My time was the 4th best time ever, beating the time of the legend Scott Jurek."
This weekend, he will start a new world record attempt, in Arizona.
This time a 48-hour race - see articles below.
We asked Simen for a summary of the highlights of the fall.

2023 harvest … Ultratrail Marjo and Tom-Erik

In large parts of the region, mountains and moors are challenged, and with some of Europe's most technical terrain in our own backyard, it's perhaps not surprising that many of our runners compete in local, national and international competitions.
However, it should not be forgotten that what most trail runners have in common is the joy of practicing outdoor sports in spectacular nature hour after hour after hour.
