City Run

Oslo's highlights, on the run

Distance: 10 km
Pace: 6:00–6:30 min/km
Duration: About 1 h
Group size: Max 8

The easiest way to get your bearings in Oslo. We start by the water, take in the Opera House and the new waterfront, then loop past Akershus Fortress, City Hall and up to the Royal Palace before finishing back where we started. The pace is conversational and we stop for photos and short stories along the way. Suitable for anyone who can run 8–10 km without stress.

What to bring

Running shoes suited to the terrain, clothing for the forecast, and a small bottle of water. In autumn and winter, bring a head torch and a windproof layer.
