Busses go from Teveltunet at 9:50, 10:30 and 11:10. The 9:50 bus is reserved for hikers only. Please respect this. The 10:30 departure will also prioritize hikers, but free seats will be available for competition runners.  

The hikers are allowed to start at leisure when they arrive at Angeltjønnhytta from 8:30 AM and onwards.

The competition runners will have a 'shot gun' start at 12:45 AM. In case of logistic delays, the start may be postponed until all runners have been brought to the start. 

The hikers and runners are brought by boat the final stretch to the half marathon start at the Angeltjønn cabin. This is also an aid station for the longer distances. From here to the finish, all distances follow the same MMC trail. From the Angeltjønna cabin, the trail goes over three mountains, and then down to the finish at Teveltunet. 

Please note that the food served at the Angeltjønna cabin and possibly on some peak(s) between Angeltjønn cabin and Teveltunet), is reserved for participants of the ultra distances (70K and up), although some snacks or sweets may be provided at some of the checkpoints as long as supply permits. Participants in the 'shorter' distances should therefore be prepared to be self supplied if necessary.
