Our story

Nøsen Hundreds Race Director Pål Magnus loves two things: His family cabin at Nøsen and ultra running.

When Pål has been training for his Ultra Marathons, Nøsen has been the perfect spot for training due the the amazing landscape Nøsen offers. 

While training in the Nøsen area, he has always thought that this area would be the perfect spot for an Ultra Marathon. It wasn’t until summer 2020, when all races where cancelled due to Covid-19 that he decided to create his own race here at Nøsen.

In 2020, Pål gathered a group of like minded friends who were supposed to run Xreid the same year and ran the 100km Nøsen route. Soon after, Pål engaged his friends Bjørn and Jun to create an official race for 2021. 

The first official race was held in 2021 and was a huge success with over 90 participants and 20 volunteers. The feedback we received from partners and participants strongly advised that we hosted the race again and that is exactly what we are doing in 2022.

For the 2022 edition, the team has grown by one member; our beloved Race Geologist Sindre Engh. Thanks to Sindre, we are excited to announce that we have an adjusted 100km route with even more trails and a 50km route which we are really excited for you to check out.
