Those who have bought a year-round license through an athletics club in Norway do not need to buy a one-off licence. Not even those born in 2013 or later. All others must purchase a one-time license. The price of this varies between NOK 30 and 50. If an injury occurs during the race, you will then be able to get treatment covered, see here .

We will use an image recognition service called Pica. It works in such a way that there will be separate symbols on each side of your start number. By creating a separate profile on getpica.com, and use your assigned code, then you can access the photos that have actually been taken by you. Feel free to also allow face recognition, then the chance that the pictures of you will be recognized increases. You can share the photos you select on social media in a simple way. You can find an illustration of the process here .
The various albums will be posted on the race’s Facebook page during the day after the race day. For the Pica photos, most likely some photos will be uploaded on race day, while the rest will be uploaded the following day. Eventually, all the pictures will also appear Flickr .

Pre-registered participants who have to withdraw from the start will not be refunded the entry fee paid.
