33. Alesund Marathon

Ålesund Marathon, a charming festival atmosphere in the center of Ålesund, will take place on June 6, 2026. In 2025, a participant record was celebrated: over 1,150 runners finished in the officially tracked distances (marathon, half marathon, 10 km, 5 km), plus around 450 participants in relay and children's races – a total of about 1,600 participants. The weather was ideal – slightly cloudy, calm, and 13–15 °C – perfect for personal bests and enjoyable running. The course is urban, features short inclines, runs on asphalt, and includes a 10-km loop that is completed four times on the marathon route. Since its founding in 1993, the event has developed into a firm tradition, with Bedriftsidretten taking over the organization in 2021 and strengthening the concept of the festival running event. There are distances for every age and performance group: 5 km, 10 km, half marathon, marathon, 5-km relay, and a mini marathon for children. The registration deadline is flexible – possible until half an hour before the start – and a distance or group change function is available online until June 1, 2026. The event also offers extensive infrastructure such as refreshment stations, showers, clothing drop-off, first aid, and the audience creates an exciting atmosphere along the course.
