Oslo Marathon

September 12

The Oslo Marathon is Norway's largest marathon and is held every autumn. As runners take to the streets of Oslo, several bus and tram routes will be diverted or changed on Saturday. If you are traveling through the city center, you are encouraged to use the metro.

The marathon route will affect many transit lines on Saturday, September 12, between 5:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Check the journey planner for your specific trip.
