Hei, løpevenner! Uke 39 - 2024
The Oslo Marathon 2024 was a huge success, thanks to a record number of volunteers. It's heartening to see so many people from SK Vidar, OSI, and other volunteers stepping up for various tasks, creating an unforgettable experience for runners and the city alike. Some even took time off work to help out! Many volunteers reported that the experience was not only rewarding but also enjoyable, working together for a greater cause. This event truly exemplified the spirit of community and the joy of running.
With approximately 23,000 runners, including 136 from SK Vidar, the Oslo Marathon was a spectacular sight. SK Vidar had a strong showing, with 14 members placing in the top 10 across various distances, highlighting our club's collective effort. Each participant brought their own story, personal challenges, and sense of achievement. This event highlighted the value of teamwork and togetherness, showing how much we can accomplish when we unite for a common goal.
A big thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success – runners, volunteers, and supporters. Your efforts created a great celebration of running and community spirit.
