3 stops. 14 dumplings. Approximately 2.5 kilometres. Get ready for Norway's first Dumpling Marathon. On Saturday, 29 August, Dumpling Marathon Oslo takes over Grünerløkka for a one-of-a-kind race experience. Participants will follow a carefully designed course connecting three dumpling locations across the neighbourhood, completing 14 dumplings along the way before reaching the official finish line at nieu grünerløkka. This is not a traditional marathon. The distance is shorter, the pace is friendlier, and the nutrition plan is significantly more rewarding. The course: Start: nieu torshov Second checkpoint: Dumpling AS Grünerløkka Finish line: 5555 at nieu grünerløkka Total distance: Approximately 2.5 km Official race nutrition: 14 dumplings Race-day schedule: 14:45 - Registration opens at nieu torshov 15:00 - First dumpling checkpoint and race briefing 15:30 - First starting group departs During the race - Second checkpoint at Dumpling AS Grünerløkka Approximately 17:00 - 17:30 - Finish line and celebration at 5555, nieu grünerløkka Please note that the final schedule may be subject to minor adjustments. Participants will be organised into one or two starting groups to ensure a smooth race flow and to avoid unnecessary congestion around the dumplings. Your ticket includes: • 14 dumplings across three official stops • An exclusive Dumpling Marathon T-shirt • An official stamp card to complete along the route • A vegetarian option at every stop • Water and hydration stops during the event • Access to the finish celebration at nieu grünerløkka Hydration and race support: Water will be available at the official stops. Depending on race conditions, an additional hydration point may also appear along the route should the demanding 2.5-kilometre distance require it. Participants are encouraged to maintain a healthy balance between hydration, dumpling intake and athletic ambition. Important participant information: The Dumpling Marathon is a social food experience and not a timed running competition.

Racing shoes are allowed, although they are unlikely to offer a significant advantage.
