Traffic regulations Midnight Sun Marathon

Midnight Sun Marathon is the year's big running party in Tromsø with five different street races, and this involves traffic regulations. New for 2025 is that the start is moved from Grønnegata to Prostneset Grønnegata and Vestregata are not affected by MSM.
We hope for your understanding that some streets will be closed to general traffic and ask everyone to respect the instructions of the trail guards. We apologize if the race causes inconvenience to some people.

During Midnight Sun Marathon , there is a need to close some parts of the race route for ordinary traffic, and there are a number of residential areas that may have to expect delays for in/out traffic during the race. There will also be a number of regulated intersections and closed roads. Closures and regulations are made in collaboration with the police and the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, and are made for the safety of the participants.
