2022

When Grue Half Marathon was held for the first time on 1 May 2022, it was the start of what is now the biggest race in Innlandet. Every year celebrities, athletes and everyday runners flock to Grue to feel the atmosphere on Norway's fastest half marathon course.

2025

In 2025 we took the concept a step further. Under the new Grueløpene umbrella, the half marathon was joined by two new events: Gruemila and Grue Backyard.
