The second fastest wheelchair rider was Kim Rishaug, representing Born To Run, with a time of 34:19.
And there are good conditions during this year's edition of the BMW Oslo Marathon.

Jack Waitz is also pleased with the state of affairs in today's BMW Oslo Marathon, which can point to record participation.
– There can be no better conditions for a marathon than today. Calm and a little drizzle in the air. Excellent. I don't remember it being sold out at all distances, as it is today, says Jack Waitz of Oslo Marathon.
