This race distance was created to invite a wider audience to experience the thrill of ultra trail running, making it accessible to more athletes and offering race-weekend participation for the support crew of ultra runners.

An aid station at 11 km offers water, sports drinks, and light snacks. The final 10 km features a mountain ridge traverse over Grønsennknippa, Svenskeknippa, and Noseknippa, ending with a steep descent and a 1.5 km sprint along Panoramaveien to the finish at Nøsen Yoga Hotel.
