About the Oslo Maraton

DNB Oslo Marathon is one of Norway's largest street races with over 20,000 participants. The race is held on the 3rd Saturday in September each year, and runs through the streets of Oslo, with the start and finish at Rådhusplassen. With our 5 different distances, we want to include as many people as possible in what we want to be a public festival in the autumn in Oslo.

Our main values are quality of life, coping and community. We want to create an event where everyone will participate; the event will have offers for everyone, and be arranged for different types of participants.

We have separate classes for people with disabilities in the distances 10 for Grete, half marathon and marathon. Read more about our para classes here . 

The Oslo Marathon is owned by Sportsklubben Vidar, and all profits from the event go to the club, and to the enjoyment of sports for children and young people. You can read more about the club on their website .

The Oslo Marathon was first held in 1981, and in 2026 we will celebrate 45 years! You can read more about the history of the Oslo Marathon here .
