Rules
No set rules are enforced, as the run is more of a social event. When asked by a Norwegian journalist as to who the winners were, the reply from one participant was "Winners? No, here, we're all losers!". Participants are not forced to finish, and those who choose to linger or take an early, much-needed finish, are not frowned upon. There are no known trophies for finishing the run aside from awe and dubious honour.

Famous quotes containing the word rules:
“Fergus rules the brazen cars,
And rules the shadows of the wood,
And the white breast of the dim sea
And all dishevelled wandering stars.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The five kings count the dead but do not soften
The crusted wound nor stroke the brow;
A hand rules pity as a hand rules heaven;
Hands have no tears to flow.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“Carnal lust rules where there is no love of God.”
—St. Augustine (354–430)
