Morning miles, meaningful conversations.

Started the day with an easy run through the city with Elly Burke, visiting from Boston. Great pace, great conversations, and a wonderful way to experience Oslo.

Elly is a children’s book author whose work encourages curiosity, listening, and asking questions—values that made for some inspiring discussions along the route.

Welcome back to Oslo, Elly! 🇳🇴🏃‍♀️

Another runner exploring Oslo! 🏃🇳🇴

Great run with Jürgen from Cologne, Germany, who is in Oslo for a couple of days of business meetings. It was his first visit to the Norwegian capital, and despite a busy schedule, he made time to squeeze in some sightseeing miles while preparing for the Cologne Marathon this fall.

Our route took us along the waterfront at Aker Brygge and past the historic Akershus Fortress, where we talked about Oslo’s transformation from a Viking settlement to the modern city it is today.

Later, Jürgen is planning to experience one of Oslo’s newest attractions — the floating saunas in the inner Oslo Fjord. Not a bad way to recover after a run! Oslo Badstuforening

Good luck with the marathon training, Jürgen, and enjoy the rest of your stay in Oslo. We hope to see you back for another run someday! 🇩🇪🤝🇳🇴

Another great Oslo Running Tour with Jacob from New York! 🇺🇸🏃‍♂️🇳🇴

This time we covered many of our classic Oslo highlights — from the waterfront around Aker Brygge and the City Hall area, past Akershus Fortress, the Barcode district, the MUNCH museum and of course the iconic Opera House roof.

Jacob thought Oslo was absolutely amazing, and honestly… running down the roof of the Opera House with the city and fjord in the background is not a bad way to experience the Norwegian capital 😄

One of the fun things about running tours is how much ground you actually cover in just one hour. Sightseeing, local history, hidden details, good conversations and some fresh air all combined into one experience.

Thanks for the run Jacob — enjoy the rest of your Oslostay

Back for more Oslo running — now that’s what we call customer retention! 😄🏃‍♀️🇳🇴

Great to have Sabrina from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿join another run, this time swapping the city centre for the hills, forests and surprises of Ekebergparken and Brannfjell.

8 km with views, climbs, quiet trails — and art installations appearing where you least expect them. One moment you’re running through the trees, the next you’re standing in front of Nordic Pixel Park or another piece from Ekebergparken’s outdoor collection.

That’s one of the best things about Oslo: you don’t have to choose between nature, art, history and a proper workout. You can get all of it before most people have finished their morning coffee.

Thanks again for joining, Sabrina — enjoy the rest of your Oslo adventure! 🙌

8 km early morning run with Tara and Sabrina from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

They were in Oslo with friends for a sauna weekend at SALT and Oslo Badstuforening Sukkerbiten — because yes, Oslo is actually becoming a sauna destination! 🔥❄️

A fresh run through the city is not a bad way to warm up before the cold plunge either. Along the way we got in some sightseeing, local stories and a good dose of Oslo morning energy.

Enjoy the rest of your stay in Oslo, ladies — and have a fantastic sauna weekend! 🙌

Fun run in Oslo today with Kathy and Alex from Philly, USA 🇺🇸

We went for an extended Oslo tour, including beautiful Vigeland Park. Did you know that The Monolith was designed by Gustav Vigeland and carved from a single block of granite? The sculpture features 121 intertwined human figures, symbolizing the cycle of life and human connection.

We also made it to the top of the Opera House for some amazing views over the city.

And of course, we had to grab a fun photo in front of the MUNCH Museum — pretending to scream 😄

Thanks for a great run and great company, Kathy and Alex. Hope you enjoyed Oslo!

What a way to start the day in Oslo 🇳🇴🏃‍♂️

This morning, 9 runners from across Europe and the US joined an early jog before the FIBE Conference kicked off — the perfect way to wake up, get some fresh air, and see a bit of the city before a full day of conference sessions.

For most of them, it was their very first time in Oslo, so along the route John shared a few stories and insights about the history of Oslo and Norway. With around 14 stops along the way, it became much more than just a run — a mix of movement, sightseeing, and local stories.

A big thanks to this great international crew for joining the tour. Have a fantastic rest of the conference, everyone, and safe travels back home afterwards.

And a special shoutout to Natan from NYC, who had the longest trip of all — safe flight back! ✈️

12 km through Oslo with Jessica from Texas 🇺🇸

Jessica is an avid runner, visiting Oslo for the very first time with her family. Oslo was a stopover on their way further north to Alta—with northern lights, dog sledding, and Arctic adventures ahead ❄️✨

After the run, her verdict said it all:

“It was so fun—and I learned way more than I would have on a run tour on my own.”

That’s exactly why I love doing this. Running opens up a city in a completely different way—stories, history, local perspectives, and hidden routes you’d likely never find solo.

Thank you, Jessica 🙏
Enjoy the rest of your Norway experience—and Happy New Year!

With that, we wrap up a long, vibrant, and incredibly rewarding year for Oslo Running Tours.

A huge thank you to all our visitors in 2025—from first-time runners in Oslo to seasoned marathoners exploring the city stride by stride.

2026… here we go 🏃‍♂️🎉

Early morning miles and marvellous company!
Had the pleasure of running a 12K with Lorraine from Wales — originally from South Africa — who’s got 49 marathons to her name and soon her 50th! Her lifetime goal? A cool 100 marathons. Simply brilliant. 🏃‍♀️💪

It was her first time in Oslo, and she said she wished she’d come earlier — absolutely smitten with how the city balances life by the fjord, the forest, and still offers that vibrant urban pulse (just without the London hustle).

We took in Vigelandsparken too — home to some 200 sculptures — a proper dose of art and nature along the way.

Hope to see you back in Oslo for another run, Lorraine — maybe the Oslo Marathon 2026 could be on the cards for you ?

Sunday morning shuffle – with a proper UK runner in town! 🇬🇧👟

Jeremy, straight outta Greenwich, London, joined me for a trot through Oslo. He’s one of those types who collects marathons like fridge magnets – already ticked off Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway, with Iceland warming up in the starting blocks. 🏃‍♂️🇮🇸

His verdict on Oslo? “It’s so clean – and a cracking mix of old and new.” Not sure if he was talking about the architecture or the runners… 😉

Later he’s trading trainers for trunks, braving the Oslofjord and the floating saunas at Sukkerbiten by the Opera. Nothing like a bit of sauna-and-ice to make you question all your life choices. ❄️🔥

Cheers for the run, mate – enjoy the rest of your stay, and don’t forget: Oslo makes hills steeper and coffee stronger than back home.
