Race description
EcoTrail Oslo 20 km is the best way to explore how fantastic it is to combine urban pahts with closeness to the city and the sea. Check out our Facebook photo-album from the course. How to get there.
The easiest way to the start is T-Bane (Subway) Line 2 to Eiksmarka station where you will have a nice warm up walk of less than 2 km to the start area at Fossum Idrettsforening. You can also plan your destination to Fossum Terrasse, which is approx. 200 meters from the start area. Plan your trip on Ruter.no.
One of the most important goals with ecoTRAIL Oslo is to get as many as possible out in the wonderful nature that Oslo and Bærum have to offer in the middle of the city. That is why we are introducing from the beginning the 20 km Nordic Walking, which is the popular term for walking with poles. It is of course possible to walk the distance without poles. We wish everybody a great trip in the city nature!
From Fossum by the lake Bogstadvannet the path follows the beatiful Lysaker river down to Lysaker station. First there are 8 km to walk on a new pathway that goes a bit back and forth between the river and quiet gardens.
From Lysaker station the path follows the fiord to the finish line. We will pass the wonderful Vækerø park, Holtekilen, Bygdøy, Frognerkilen and Rådhusplassen before the race finishes by running along the marina by Akerhus Festning. When you see the Opera, the race is soon finished.
