Norwegian Verdal, due north of Trondheim, boasts a time-honoured walking heritage, and Sagamarsjen, which is always hosted in the last weekend of August, has already celebrated its 50th anniversary. This makes the ”Saga March” the oldest Nordic walking event. Norway joined IML as early as in 1991. This famed walk offers fabulous Norweigan countryside and routes of 5, 7, 10, 12, 21, 22, 28 and 31 km during the two-day event. The first event-day takes participants on a historical walk on the trail of King Olav II of Norway, with fine mountain stretches. The second event-day starts and finishes where King Olav fell at the Battle of Stiklestad.
