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:
“Those rules of old discovered, not devised,
Are Nature sill, but Nature methodized;
Nature, like liberty, is but restrained
By the same laws which first herself ordained.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“Ideas about life organize perception; names of emotions organize sensations; rules of syntax organize thought. But pain comes on its own.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Each person calls barbarism whatever is not his or her own practice.... We may call Cannibals barbarians, in respect to the rules of reason, but not in respect to ourselves, who surpass them in every kind of barbarity.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
