All contests:

For contests with dropbag (500K, 500K TEAM, 300K, 125K):
All contests are conducted as a single leg from start to finish, without compulsory breaks. It is up to the participants to decide where and when to rest/sleep, as long as the regulations for the race are followed. The participants can receive support only from the organizer— private support is not allowed.
The routes consist mainly of soft ground: Paths marked by the Norwegian Trekking Association (DNT), smaller non-marked paths, and a few stretches without path. Only minor parts of the routes are along roads and on hard surface.
The route is not marked physically, apart from the permanent markings along the paths of the Norwegian Trekking Association (DNT) and some marking of local paths. The participants must navigate such that the route is followed. As navigation aids, each team and each individual participant must bring one GPS-unit (for example, a sports watch), a paper map, and a physical compass. One may either print a digital map made available by the organizer, or bring some other suitable paper map.
GPS-tracks and map data will be available in due time before the race.
For the longest distances in Oslo Bergen Trail an approved application is required to participate.
The application process has two steps.
Document to have finished an ultra-trail race of at least 75 km with moderate elevations OR an other activity that can be considered equally physically demanding.
Confirm a generally good physical condition AND experience being out in the mountains under different weather conditions.
