Trail 50 km

From the start, 50 kilometers of everything Trondheim has to offer await; forest, mountains, river and fjord – with the finish at Nyhavna and Havet Arena.
‍

Right from the start, you enter varied terrain with soft paths and gravel roads southwards – over Søremsåsen – before gradually heading downhill towards the centre of Heimdal. There is a short stretch of asphalt, and you cross the E6 before disappearing into nature again.
‍

The trail then follows Hårstadmarka, where the forest gradually opens up towards the Nidelva River. The river is followed for a while before crossing at Øvre Leirfossen. From there, it continues on gravel roads past Utleira, where you will find the first drinking station of the course, before ascending again.

The next stage is Estenstadsmarka, Østbyen's large hiking area. Here you pass both Estenstadsdammen and Estenstadhytta. After the cabin, you go downhill towards Sæterbakken, where you cross the road and find new flow on narrow forest paths towards Markaplassen.

A short asphalt section leads you to Reppe Søndre farm, and the second drinking station of the race.

Here begins the last big challenge: the climb up to Solemsvåttan (435 m), the highest point of the trail.

The climb is technical and demanding, but the view from the top makes the effort worth it:
From here you can see both the fjord and the city you are heading to.

The descent towards Være marks the start of the last part of the race. Here you can breathe in the smell of the sea and the open landscape again. The course connects onto Ladestien, which winds along the coast back towards the city centre. With panoramic views of the fjord and historical traces along the way, this section leads you all the way to Nyhavna, where the finish line and the cheers await.

The last drinking station can be found at Hansbakkfjæra, about ten kilometers before the finish line.

This is a varied and challenging 50-kilometer route, a journey from the fields to the fjord, through forests, over hills and along coastal paths.
