The Island Carousel is another brilliant race concept from the great Team SRM. On three Thursdays in July there are races on three of Oslo's nice islands, on Hovedøya, Langøyene and Gressholmen. Last year I participated at Gressholmen (2011 report) and quickly regretted that I hadn't done the other islands. This year I'm planning to do them all.

The track today was 3.2 kilometre. It's a terrain run, so it's hard getting good kilometre times. A very nice and varied track. The best of all with these races though is the people participating and organising it. Once more a huge thanks to the magnificent organisers for doing this. It is marvellous having events like this in the capital of Oslo. A wonderful way to explore the islands, highly recommended for everyone. After the race we had a shrimp party on the island, before we took the ferry back to the city.

A total of 30 people participated  in the race.

Of course, I had to check the capacity planning...

... guess what, even that was perfect. 7 toilets for 30 runners. The best CP ever!

No queues for taking a bath either, and a surprisingly nice water temperature.

Plenty of shrimps for everyone, thanks to the organisers.

Next Thursday Langøyene is coming up, then Gressholmen. If you've done these races you know why I can't leave Oslo in July. If you haven't done them sign up today, you will not regret!
