On 10 January 2026, the Hoka Solastranden Halvmaraton returns to Sola, just outside Stavanger, inviting runners from across Norway and beyond to kick off their year with a lively event. Competitors may choose from the 5 km, the 10 km or the 21.1 km half-marathon, making it accessible whether you’re seeking a pace session or a full distance challenge. The course is largely flat and asphalted, running along the coast and through local neighbourhoods, with the start and finish at Sola Strand Hotel. Organised by key local athletics clubs, the event also features a “trippel” option (complete all three distances) for those wanting something extra. With its winter timing, friendly atmosphere and scenic coastal setting, it’s an excellent way to launch the running season in Norway.
