Outdoor running group with our ambassador Jevi every Sunday

NEW - outdoor running! Together with our ambassador Jevi Majid, Oslo Marathon has launched FREE running classes for minority women! Every Sunday (excluding holidays) until September 16th, Jevi will take you on a varied and fun running class, adapted to all levels.

The location for the group will be at Lambertseter Stadium every Sunday at 11:00. There will be warm-ups, intervals, competitions etc. Everyone is encouraged to contact Jevi directly on Instagram if they want to join the running group or join the Facebook group.

Popular running group with waiting lists of two weeks

The running group for minority women run by our ambassador, Jevi Majid, started in the new year in the hope of getting more women from minority backgrounds to run. A collaboration with Lia Training allowed us to offer indoor running for FREE to those who wanted to join.

From the start, the group has been incredibly popular with waiting lists of two weeks. In Ramadan (the month of fasting) participation has been somewhat less, but there has still been great enthusiasm for some to run while some women fasted. A few women have come once and tried it out while others have become regulars who have set big goals.
 
On Saturday, April 22, six of the women from the running group ran the Sentrumsløpet and ran a full 10 kilometers! What an amazing achievement! Inclusion is for everyone and sport is an arena where everyone should feel welcome and be cheered on.
 
After 15 weeks of running on mills, Jevi is now planning to get the women out on the asphalt to get them ready for the BMW Oslo Marathon 2023! With beautiful surroundings in Oslo and fresh air, the group will experience togetherness and running on a track.
