The 17K route starts with an immediate climb toward Storehogen, gaining 400 meters of elevation before turning toward Bjørkastølen. This leads into a rewarding 3 km descent onto exotic pine needle flow trails near Kaupangsholtane. Take a U-turn around the 11 km mark, and run down towards the aid station at km 13. After the aid the course features a final short ascent before a long, fast descent to the finish line. A perfect punch of climbing, flow, and stunning scenery.
