This unique marathon 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 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.

The Course
Icebug Frozen Lake Marathon is open to everyone, and is held on a 2-loop half-Marathon course. 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.
