STR 17K

STR 17K starts from Festningsdalen and takes runners through varied terrain with spectacular views of the Sognefjord. The course climbs towards Søre Gråbrørne at 737 meters above sea level, before continuing towards Svarthol and a faster gravel section. The final stretch offers a steep downhill segment and a fast last kilometer into the finish line in Kaupanger.
