The story behind
When Grue Half Marathon was held for the first time on May 1st, 2022, it marked the beginning of what has become the largest running event in Innlandet. Every year, celebrities, sports personalities, and recreational runners travels to Grue to experience the atmosphere on Norway’s fastest half marathon course.
In 2025, we took the concept a step further. Under the new umbrella Grueløpene, the half marathon was joined by two brand-new events: Gruemila (10K) and Grue Backyard.
Gruemila 2026 will serve as the rehearsal before we host the Norwegian National Championships (NM) for 10 km road racing the following year—an honor we are incredibly proud of, and one that provides massive motivation! And if flat, fast courses aren't your thing, the brutal challenge of Grue Backyard is ready and waiting for you!
Grueløpene is organized by Grue Idrettslag, in close collaboration with local enthusiasts, sponsors, and volunteers. Together, we pour our hearts into it every single year to give you an unforgettable running experience.
Welcome to Grue!
