Bergen City Marathon

Welcome to Fjordkraft Bergen City Marathon (FBCM), which will be held on Saturday, 25 of April 2024. Join us and celebrate the 14th anniversary og this fantastic run with a beautiful and inspiring course. Experience the atmosphere at the start and finish lines at the World Heritage Site Bryggen in Bergen, run through Gamle Bergen (Old Bergen), and enjoy the amazing view from Fjellveien.

The course also continues along the beautiful walkway around Store Lungegårdsvann. You will be met by a buzzing crowd as you run through Nygårdsparken. This is where the 5 km run starts.
