The race begins and concludes at the iconic Bryggen\, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its colorful wooden buildings and historic wharf. From the starting line\, runners are treated to a tour of the city’s most beloved landmarks. A significant highlight is the stretch along Fjellveien\, a panoramic road that provides breathtaking views of the city center\, the surrounding fjords\, and the majestic mountains.

Other scenic portions include the route around Store Lungegårdsvann\, where the modern city meets the water\, providing a varied and engaging experience for all participants. The marathon distance involves completing the half marathon loop twice\, allowing runners to fully immerse themselves in the atmosphere of “the city between the seven mountains.” \nRace Details\nThe event is scheduled to take place on Saturday\, April 24\, 2027. Organized by Turn & Idrettsforeningen Viking (TIF Viking)\, the Bergen City Marathon caters to a wide range of running abilities with its diverse distance offerings.
