WELCOME TO Norway
Travelling Fit is proud to announce that we are the official Australian sales agent for the Frozen Lake Marathon and have added this exciting event to our running calendar.
Tucked away in Golsfjellet, Norway, the Frozen Lake Marathon is a captivating event that takes place wholly on the stunning Lake Tisleifjorden.
This unique event invites runners to traverse a course typically covered in snow and ice, presenting an exhilarating challenge.
Participants must prepare for diverse conditions including freezing temperatures, snow-covered paths, and potential icy sections. To ensure safety and performance, many runners opt for specialized footwear designed for traction in winter conditions. The Half Marathon not only tests physical endurance but also mental resilience, as participants must adapt to the elements.
The atmosphere during the Frozen Lake Marathon is one of camaraderie and celebration. Runners come together to enjoy the beauty of winter while supporting one another through the course. Post-race festivities often include warm drinks, food, and community gatherings, fostering a sense of accomplishment and connection among participants.
Overall, the Frozen Lake Marathon provides a unique blend of sporting challenge and winter wonderland, making it a memorable event for everyone who takes part.

The Course
Icebug Frozen Lake Half Marathon is open to everyone. Every step is taken on pure ice in this beautiful event limited to 500 participants. The flattest elevation profile in the world is guaranteed and an experience you’ll never forget.
Tisleifjorden is located 819 meters above sea level in the Norwegian municipalities of Gol and Hemsedal in Buskerud and Nord-Aurdal municipality in Oppland.
For the most part, the ice on the lake is about 80cm thick – with a carrying capacity up to 30 tons. A safe course is plotted by an assembled support team. The team monitors the course closely. The final course is laid out just days before the race starts.
Among other things, the lake is used for testing tires, emergency vehicles and drivers who want to test their skills in icy conditions.
