...the best Bislett 24-hour ever

(Google translate):

In the best Samaranch style*, we unashamedly proclaim this year's Bislett 24-hour race the best Bislett 24-hour race ever.

We didn't break any records, but a record-breaking field of 174 runners and significantly more spectators than before contributed to the fact that there was at least occasionally a very high atmosphere along the indoor track at Bislett.

As organizers, we have tried to improve a little on an already good concept every year - but without shaking the concept itself. It should be a full-service event with the runners in the center, and with the involvement of the club's own runners who make this possible year after year.

The attention in the press was record-breaking, and with 24-hour live TV (DirekteSport) in addition to a lot of other media present, we have once again managed to create some extra attention for the sport we love.

None of the supposedly strongest Norwegian runners were on the starting list this year - partly because of a nearby World Cup 100km. There was therefore extra excitement surrounding who could win this year. Not unexpectedly, it was seasoned ultra-running veterans who made the most of the first few hours.

After 10 hours, the best young runners are in 8th place, Ivar Anton Kronstad (25) in the men's class and Caroline Nome (29) in the women's class. 14 hours later, both were proclaimed the youngest ever winners of the Bislett 24-hour race. What is unusual is not that two runners have such good strength, but that they manage to do it at such a young age - we are not used to that as organizers at Bislett. (Photo: Samuel Hafsahl)

All were winners at the Bislett 24-hour race, runners from 18 to 80 years old with different abilities and ambitions, but we extend a special congratulations to the 16 who ran longer than 200 kilometers - and the 101 who reached the requirement for the race's performance medal (150/130 km).

*After the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer in 1994, the Olympic President expressed that this was "the best Olympic Winter Games ever".

Covid 19 / flu

If you have a cold (incl. “ordinary” flu) and / or are unsure if you have symptoms of Covid19, stay home. This applies to both participants and supporters.
 
 At the time of writing, the infection is increasing in several places in Norway, but for the time being it is planned for events in the "usual way" - but with more extensive use of e.g. antibac than before. Use dispensers that are set out for maximum hand hygiene.


Shoe rules

The shoes can have a maximum sole thickness of 40mm (at its thickest - also for ultra-running on the track), and only one built-in carbon plate. It is the athlete's responsibility to use legal shoes on the starting line and during any shoe change. Checks can be made.
