The organiser describes the first 2.5 km as a tough start up to the Royal Palace and then a light climb to Frogner stadion, where the first drinks station stands. The course then loops around Frognerparken on gravel before it heads down toward Bygdøy Allé, where the organiser says you can win back time lost on the hills. The road is at about 40 m at 2.5 km and about 6 m by 7.5 km.

Under about 75 minutes most runners need no gel: water at the aid stations does it.
For your long training runs:
Our pick: SiS BETA Fuel gel, box of 6, strawberry and lime. 40 g of carbohydrate a gel, about twice a usual gel, from two kinds of sugar your body takes up side by side. Enough for race day and two test long runs.
