Why run a half marathon? 

Running a half marathon can be a big challenge, but is still a distance that is achievable for most people. Half marathons require less training than marathons, and give less risk of injuries. This is the main reason why this distance has become so popular. A Half marathon is also a great distance to try if you aim to eventually complete a marathon.

Why not take part in the Oslo Half Marathon in September? By running the half marathon you will experience the capital in a completely different way, together with thousands of other runners and spectators.

A regular feature within the para-classes ever since they were introduced in 2010 is the collaboration between the blind and partially sighted from Team RP and Active Against Cancers team.
