Tromsø Mountain Ultra

Information
We have the pleasure to invite to a new mountain ultra August 24th 2013. Tromsø Mountain Ultra is a 50 K mountain race, and is run in the mountains close to Tromsø City. The start is at Snarbyeidet and the trail goes over the mountain to Tromsdalen. There are 5 service stations in connection with the mountain huts. You will run in the terrain, and it is not a trail all the way to Tromsdalen. It is a beautiful, but challenging ultra run with variation in the terrain. The runners that have not passed Folkehjelpshytta (32K) after 5.5 hours will be taken out of the race. The cut off time for the race is 9 hours.

We have also a half ultra race 25k starting the same day.  The course is the same as the last part of the ultra race.
