When I heard that there was going to be a race in Norway , I couldn't believe it. Trail running isn't very popular here. Sport is really focused on cross-country skiing.

But few of them will race against the best European runners because logistics are complicated and they don't have time to manage all the travel arrangements. I think having an event like this with the best runners attending will help shine a spotlight on trail running and help it grow here. I hope that the Golden Trail series will stay here a few years, especially seeing as we have the perfect terrain for the races! "

I thought I couldn't miss the one time the best runners were coming to Norway . It was fun to see them here even if different qualities are required because the trails are very technical. It showcases trail running here and that's great."

There are European runners of course, as well as athletes from the Untied States, Mexico , Columbia, Morocco , Australia and New Zealand .

"It's excellent and that's why so many athletes want to take part. "
