Jakob Ingebrigtsen's Challenge
Jakob Ingebrigtsen, who recently clinched victory in the Diamond League on the 1500 meters, is entering his first half marathon with no prior experience beyond 10 kilometers in official competitions. Despite his speed, Ingebrigtsen may struggle due to his limited preparation time.

- World record for the half marathon stands at 57:31, held by Jacob Kiplimo.
- Norwegian record set by Sondre Norstad Moen in 2017 at 59:47.
- Karoline Bjerkeli Grøvdal will also compete.
