About the race
Tromsø Mountain Challenge is a weekend of four trail races held over three days in Tromsø. The program includes two uphill races, one ultrarace and one trail race. The event runs in late summer and takes place in Arctic landscape with routes over mountains and open plateaus.
Routes include longer ultra-distance and shorter trail options. Two of the races conclude with a descent through Tromsdalen and a finish at TUIL Arena. Specific starts and distances include:
- 50 km La Sportiva Ultra, start Snarbyeidet, finish TUIL Arena
- 25 km La Sportiva HalvUltra, start TUIL Arena, finish TUIL Arena
- Dalheim Rundt, family-friendly surroundings, finish TUIL Arena
The weekend emphasizes varied trails with sections over fjell og vidder and technical parts that require strength and endurance. The event attracted participants from multiple nations; in 2026 there were four distances, 685 runners and entrants from 34 nations. The courses are described with mixed terrain, and several races pass scenic sections of Tromsø before the common finish at TUIL Arena.
