EcoTrail Oslo is a late-May trail race and the Norwegian stop of the international EcoTrail series, now in its second decade. Distances are 80, 50, 31, 21 and 10 km, plus a 21 km Nordic walk, so there is an option for first-timers and ultrarunners alike. The routes cross Oslomarka, the vast forest on the capital's edge with lakes, pine trails and hills, before dropping to the fjord; after ten years finishing at City Hall, the organisers finally won permission to finish at Huk on the Bygdøy peninsula, with a beach and sea views. Sustainability is at the heart of the series, and several course records fell in 2026. Bygdøy is home to the Fram and Kon-Tiki museums and the Norwegian Folk Museum, while central Oslo offers the Opera House, the Munch Museum and Aker Brygge.
An easy run with a local club the day before the race — the best way to shake out the legs and meet the city.
