-It went very easily today. Great weather and good atmosphere around the trail. I feel like I ran controlled all the way. However, had some stomach issues towards the end. Stas with NM in marathon in Oslo, says NM winner Marthe Katrine Myhre from Lillehammer.

The NM silver went to Silje Eklund from Skreia IL in the time 2:56:33. In third place in the Oslo Marathon and NM in the marathon was Lina Rivedal from Gular in Bergen. Rivedal got the time 2:57:03. These were the three fastest during the women's marathon in the capital, regardless of class.

And there were and are great conditions during this year's edition of the Oslo Marathon. NRK commentator and member of the organizing club SK Vidar Jack Waitz enjoys the sun in the capital.

A total of just under 19,000 runners participate in the Oslo Marathon today. Runners from a total of 62 countries are participating. The oldest runner is 83 years old. There are more runners on the actual marathon distance this year than last year.
