THE ONLY WAY IS UP

By Fredrik Ölmqvist

Uphill Running is on the rise in Norway!

Companies race each other, kids race each other, everybody races each other - and always, but always, to the top. Trail writer Fredrik Ölmqvist from neighboring - and much flatter - Sweden is naturally jealous of the Norwegian mountain running scene.

Athlete Training Tips

Amber Moran: The Southeast part of the country has caught up with New England and Colorado as one of the hotbeds of US mountain running. Like her home state, Amber aims to join the national ranks of mountain and trail runners. But unlike Colorado and New England, Amber has been running excellent trail races all winter long... without having to wear snowshoes!
