FIND YOUR RUNNING FORM WITH THE OSLO MARATHON
Oslo Marathon organizes several running groups throughout the year together with our partners. We also have long runs on our course, and we have started a great collaboration with CREW Trening, where you can participate in both fitness and strength sessions for runners!
You can find all the sessions further down this page. Some sessions happen every week, other sessions happen every other week or only on set dates. We are constantly updating with new sessions, so stay tuned!
Some of the sessions we organize in collaboration with CREW Trening take place at their premises at Alexander Kiellandsplass, and these require a punch card with them. There is no commitment time and you only pay for the sessions you attend - GENIAL! Read more about how it works and book your first session HERE.

PREVIOUS RUNNING GROUPS WITH OUR PARTNERS
On Tuesday 28 February, we organised a running group together with our charity partner, the Organ Donation Foundation.
130 runners turned up for the 'Green Light for Organ Donation Race' and walked/ran to show that they say YES to organ donation. You could choose to run one lap of 4.4 km, or two laps and 8.8 km. We handed out green luminous ribbons to those who showed up, as a symbol of giving the green light, and after the session, King Marina provided coffee, chocolate and oranges for everyone!
We ended the running group with a prize draw, and here we drew winners of a cap from Kongen Marina as well as SUP board rental, a towel from Kongen Marina and sauna rental for 10 people. Several celebrated the running session with a dinner at Kongen Marina, which had 25% on all food for all participants!
On Wednesday 7 November, we once again organised Refleksløp together with our partner Gjensidige, to highlight the importance of being seen in the dark. As we say every time; wearing reflectors is the cheapest insurance we have!
Also this time there were several hundred runners who showed up and were each given a raw reflector from Gjensidige before the run. The group was divided into different speed groups where we had pacesetters at 7.00, 6.30, 6.00, 5.30, 5.00 and 4.30 minutes per kilometer. Some of the group ran 5 kilometres, while others went for a 10 kilometre run. At the end of the session, as always, the participants received nuts and energy bars from Maxim!
The reflective race is just as much fun every time, we light up the streets with reflectors and the joy of running! We can't wait for the next one!
In recent years, we have organized the virtual race "Romjulsløpet". In 2022, we chose to turn this into a physical running group! Participants could choose between 5 km or 10 km. As usual, there was no timing, but we had speed controllers for different levels, from walking to jogging and running. The distances were also "synchronised" with today's hatch for those who took part in the Julechallenge , and several participants joined in to complete today's hatch with us - it was great fun!
We encouraged everyone who took part to donate an amount to the Church's City Mission and their campaign "Gled noen som gruer ses til Christmas", to which we also donated one meal for every person who took part in our Christmas Challenge in 2022.
After the finish line, all participants were given gingerbread and coffee to warm up, as well as bars from Maxim.
On Wednesday 2 November, we organized the Refleksløpet together with our partner Gjensidige, to focus on the importance of being seen in the dark. Using reflex is the cheapest insurance we have!
Over 250 enthusiastic runners turned up and each received a raw reflector from Gjensidige before the race started. The group was divided into different speed groups where we had pacers at 6.00, 5.30, 5.00 and 4.30 minutes per kilometre. Some of the group ran 5 kilometres, while others went for a 10 kilometre. After the session, participants received nuts and energy bars from Maxim!
On 16 August, Ambassador Liv invited Richter for a long trip in Lillomarka. The gang ran from Nittedal train station to Sinober and towards Barlindsåsen before ending the trip at Grefsenkollen with pizza! A lovely 15 kilometer run in the fields, with good atmosphere all the way!
On 24 August, Hold Norge Rent, Ragns Sells, Gjensidige and Oslo Marathon invited plogging + running strength in St. Hanshaugen park! We plowed for just over 20 minutes, before the Oslo Marathon provided a running strength session with a mini band. A pleasant afternoon with good efforts both for the environment and health!
Strength with Dr. Dropin
On Tuesday, June 21, we arranged strength training with Dr. Dr. Dropin Physical. The session was set up by NPT, former athlete and physiotherapist at Dr.Dropin, Therese Skjølsvik. She took us through a session focusing on strength exercises aimed at runners. The session was rewarded with Maxim bars for all participants, and 3 of those who showed up won a small prize at the same time!
Become a better runner!
For those who want a race analysis to optimize their race step and run more economically, this can be ordered from our partner Dr. Dropin. Read more here.
The breathing room in the forest
On 31 May, we arranged a running group in collaboration with Active against cancer. The running group was held in the Respite Room in the forest at Rikshospitalet.
Former athlete Ingvill Måkestad Bovim and cross-country skier Kasper Stadaas led a nice training session which consisted of a mixture of intervals, and various strength exercises through the trail to the breathing room and the activities / equipment found there.
After the training, coffee from Kjeldsberg was served as well as great bars from Maxim!
The reflex run with Gjensidige
On Wednesday 23 February, we arranged the Reflex Race in collaboration with our partner Gjensidige, to focus on safety and the importance of using reflex in the dark.
Gjensidige handed out reflective tapes to everyone who participated, and served coffee and cinnamon buns. We also had Taffel water supplied by Rema 1000 and protein and energy bars from Maxim.
Around 150 people took part in the 5 km long round with start and finish at the Grete Waitz statue at Bislett Stadium.
The Garmin race
On Thursday 21 April, we arranged the Garmin race in collaboration with Garmin. The event started with a short presentation about Garmin watches and the different functions of the watches.
Then we set up intervals at different paces adapted to different levels. For those who did not want to run intervals, it was also possible to walk a lap of about 2.5 km. Garmin provided loan watches for those who wanted to test watches.
The session was rewarded with buns, coffee from Kjeldsberg, table water from REMA 1000 and protein bars from Maxim. In addition, a lucky winner was drawn who won a Garmin Forerunner 745.
