Welcome to Henningsvær Half Marathon–one of the most scenic runs in Norway!
This race route starts in the small fishing village of Henningsvær, and takes you past dramatic coastlines and towering peaks at your back. Whether you're chasing results or doing it for the views, this run is for you.
The course starts at Trevarefabrikken, continuing to the end of Henningsvær, before you run back out of the village and along the coastal road towards Rørvika Beach by E10. Here you turn back towards Henningsvær on the same road. When entering Henningsvær you once again take a loop inside the village, before turning towards the finish at Trevarefabrikken. Automatic timing with split times at turning point.
Be aware: Henningsvær is a lively community with lots of people both living here and people visiting. There is only one road in, which cannot be closed for traffic. Be mindful about traffic.
