Vidar Sports Club, the organiser of Fokus Bank Oslo Marathon, has received a record number of registration for this weekend’s event. Vidar expects close to 16,000 people from 71 different nations to run one of the distances covered; marathon (42,195 metres), half marathon (21,097 metres), 10 kilometres and three kilometres. If the forecasts for participation hold good, this event will set a new record for a street race in Oslo. The previous record is 14,192 runners set in 1994.

Fokus Bank Oslo Marathon, held on the last weekend in September annually, is Norway’s largest street marathon. First staged in 1981, the race attracted a record 14 000 runners in 1994, but interest in jogging declined around 2000 and it was not staged in 2002-03. Due to this, in 2004 the organisation of the event was taken over by the Vidar Sports Club and now in its 28th edition is going to be bigger than ever. Read more…
