Vinterkarusellen Bergen is a winter running fixture in Bergen on the west coast of Norway, with a 5 km and a 10 km option on the same day. Runners gather in the city in late November, when short daylight hours and cool, damp coastal weather are part of the experience. The event is part of the wider Vinterkarusellen series, which returns to Bergen through the autumn and winter months. Start times, course routing and entry details are published by the organiser on the EQ Timing event page closer to race day.

The 5 km distance gives newer runners a short, manageable introduction to racing in a group. Conditions in late November in Bergen can be cold and wet, so prepare for winter weather whatever your experience level.
Yes. Vinterkarusellen is a recurring winter series in Bergen with several dates across the season, and the same calendar lists other rounds on different dates. Runners who enjoy the format can enter more than one round.
Bergen in late November is typically cool, windy and often wet, with short daylight hours. Layered clothing and a light waterproof shell are sensible, and it is worth packing a dry change of clothes for after the finish.
Bergen is served by Flesland airport and by rail connections from Oslo and elsewhere in Norway. Once in the city, local buses and the light rail cover most areas, and the city centre is compact enough to walk.
