The 3-Sjøersløpet is a popular half marathon in Stavanger where about 80% of the course runs on runnable gravel paths around three scenic lakes.
What this race demands
This half marathon requires sustained aerobic endurance over a rolling gravel profile that covers 21.1 kilometers. Athletes must maintain steady pacing across varied lakeside terrain.
Aerobic endurance
Covering the 21.1 kilometer distance demands a high level of cardiovascular capacity and sustained running economy.
Gravel surface adaptation
