Jotunheimen Trail Run

1 July 2027 · Bygdin, Norway

Jotunheimen Trail Run is an early-July trail festival on Lake Bygdin at the edge of Jotunheimen National Park, near Beitostølen. Distances are 12, 16 and 21 km, a 42 km mountain marathon and a 73 km ultra, plus a 1 km kids' race: 'an event for everyone, young and old, highly trained and less trained', as the organisers put it. The trails cross the high country of the 'home of the giants': stony plateaus, turquoise lakes, snowfields and jagged peaks all around, with views that keep runners coming back. Participant feedback agrees on stunning nature, a friendly atmosphere and excellent organisation, and partners include Norrøna, Aclima and La Sportiva. Jotunheimen means the Besseggen ridge, Lake Gjende, Galdhøpiggen, Scandinavia's highest peak, and mountain lodges with glacier views.
