With an incredible 14,623 participants, this year’s event set a new record! The strong growth highlights the need for adjustments to maintain the quality and experience for both participants and spectators in the years to come.

We’re looking ahead to 2030, working on ideas and visions that will help us further develop the event.

Trondheim Marathon is about more than just running – it’s about community, public health, and the joy of running!

Starting in 2025, the main race day at Trondheim Marathon will move to Sunday. Saturday will become a dedicated family day, featuring the Kids’ Mini Marathon and a variety of activities. The goal is to create a complete race weekend that engages participants, families, and spectators – and turns Trondheim into a vibrant running city throughout the entire weekend.

The reasons behind the change are to:

• Improve capacity in both the course and the city, allowing more people to participate and enjoy a great experience
• Elevate the event to a new level – athletically, socially, and as a citywide celebration
• Continue developing Trondheim Marathon in line with growing interest and ambitions toward 2030

This change gives us a stronger foundation to enhance the course, the race experience, the spectator experience, and the family concept – and to create a race weekend for everyone.

Dates: September 5–6

Registration for Trondheim Marathon 2026 opens on December 1st.
