There were ultimately 32 participants in the competition classes at this year's Malvikingen Opp. Not too bad, considering issues with the registration system and the clash with the Holmenkollstafetten. The weather was brilliant, and there were many happy participants and volunteers.
The 2025 edition of Kruke's Ultra-Trail Challenge will be held on Saturday the 11th of Octobre. Registrations open during Easter.
Happy training!

Ultrarunners are drawn to insane challenges the same way moths are drawn to light. Now, it's fully booked (and then some, with 31 registered for 30 spots đ) for this year's edition of Kruke's Ultra-Trail Challenge (KUTC)! I found this picture of the participants from the first edition in 2018. What on earth were these people thinking?
But now it's the seventh edition, and already sold out for an event that takes place in the middle of the country, in the middle of October, and thus in the middle of the worst weather season.

Malvikingen Opp 2023 is history. It was the 13th edition, so maybe we had to expect a bit of bad luck. First we had to move the date, and then we got a patch of bad weather. In the end we count 36 participants in all, and that is one less than last year and the lowest number if we don't count the covid-19 years of 2020 and 2021. Apart from that, all went smooth on the day.
All results can be found on the race homepage on facebook.
