Knarvikmila - The Great Fjord Run

About this event

Born in 1982 in the fishing village of Knarvik, this iconic Norwegian event has grown into a week-long celebration that draws runners from around the world. The courses wind through coastal landscapes near Bergen, mixing road and trail segments that showcase classic Norwegian fjordland. Distances range from a gentle 5km to the challenging FjordViking — three races in one day totaling over 36km. What sets this event apart is its festival atmosphere: concerts, conferences, and trade fairs transform race week into something more than just running. With 500+ volunteers keeping things running smoothly, the community spirit is genuine and welcoming. For those seeking an authentic Norwegian running experience beyond the typical trail race, this is it.
