Oppdal Mountain Marathon

The brief

Document the mountain marathon from start to finish, from steep climbs to intense final sprints, and give the organiser photos and video that sell next year’s race. Just as important: the sponsors need to be seen. The photo plan is built around them, with beach flags at the starts, the finish arch and the banners in the finish area.

How we did it

In 2025 we had five photographers spread along the course, from the start at Gjevilvasshytta to Ørsnipen, Storgruvpiken and Storhåmmåren, and delivered an extensive photo library and four short social videos.

In 2026 there were two of us, a smaller and more mobile team. Emil and Markus covered all three starts, went up the mountain to Ørsnipen and followed the finish area with volunteers, the mini marathon and the prize ceremonies. This time we delivered both the photos and four reels from race day.
