Description
The Kongsvinger Marathon is organized on Saturday 2 August
What is special this year is that Sæter farm is undergoing renovations, and we cannot use the shower facilities there.
It will therefore be possible to shower in the Kongsvinger storhall, Markensvegen 9, 2212 Kongsvinger
For those who need transport to and from Sæter, we set up cars.
At the beginning of August it can be hot in the forest. We recommend that you bring a running hydration pack/vest or a hydration belt. We have 9 drinking stations located on the trail with water jugs. At some of the drink stations there will be sports drinks. In addition, bananas, raisins.
NB: Long zones with food and drink are not permitted.
The marathon course runs through a hilly, varied and beautiful forest area north and west of the starting point, Sæter farm. The main trail, which is 21.1 km long, follows a forest road approx. 9.7 km to Tjernsli. From there south and east past Bogersjøen, Bogerfløyta, Trettbråten and back to Sæter gård. In addition to the forest road, the trail also follows good paths. For the full marathon, the main course is run in two laps.
Each round has 9 drink stations.
Kongsvingermila follows the main trail from the start for 4.2 km and has the same stretch as the marathon trail for the last 2.9 km. It is the middle section of 2.9 km that will be new. There are 3 drinking stations.
