Bergen City Marathon, live.

Two laps of Bergen from the old wharf at Bryggen

Bergen City Marathon is a spring road race that starts and finishes on Bryggen, run by the Bergen club TIF Viking.

The 2027 edition is on Saturday 24 April. The organiser, Viking Turn og Idrettsforening, has been a sports club in Bergen since 1892, and the whole day is built around the start and finish line on Bryggen, the old Hanseatic wharf in the city centre.

The marathon starts at 07:30 and is two laps of about 21 km. The half marathon, which the organiser calls its most popular distance, sets off in waves between 09:15 and 10:15. The BT relay starts at 11:15 and splits 21 km into 10 legs for teams of friends or colleagues, and the 5 km starts at 12:15 from Møhlenpris idrettsplass. There is also a short children's race.

Drink stations on the lap are at Sandviken hospital at 3.5 km, Fjellveien at 7.2 km, Haraldsplass hospital at 10 km, AdO arena at 14 km and Nordnes school at 19 km, with Bryggen at 21.5 km for marathon participants. The time limit is 6 hours for the marathon and 4 hours for the half. Marathon participants must pass Bryggen at 21 km by 10:45 or they are stopped and credited with the half.

The organiser describes the 5 km as low threshold with a high atmosphere and the relay as the social option, while the two lap marathon is billed as a race for the toughest. Marathon participants pass the start and finish line on Bryggen after the first lap, so supporters there can see them twice.

On Livebib you can follow a participant who chooses to share their own live position from the phone they carry. This is not the organiser's timing, and the official results come from Bergen City Marathon.
