Details

This is a social run around Sognsvann for singles in Oslo, with an optional swim and hangout afterwards.

NORSK: We write in English so everyone can understand, but this event is just as much for Norwegians as for international participants.

The event is organised through Dypere, a Norwegian dating platform where people meet through profiles and real-life events instead of endless swiping.

I’m hosting on the day through my brand Room for More, so people from this group can find the event and show up together. I’m not part of the Dypere team, but I’ll help with the meetup, pace, and friendly group vibe on the day. I enjoy creating a nice atmosphere where people feel welcome.

What we’ll do
We meet at Sognsvann stasjon and do one lap around the lake, approximately 3.2 km, at an inclusive pace. All levels are welcome. The first lap is social and relaxed.

After the first lap, there will be an optional second lap at a slightly faster pace for those who want more intensity.

After the run, we hang out by the grass/water with snacks, conversation, and an optional swim for anyone who wants to cool down.
Stay for as long or as short as you like.

We’ll arrange bag watch during the run, so you can leave a bag with us if you’re coming straight from work or studies and don’t want to carry everything around the lake.

WhatsApp group for event updates
Information about where we are, small changes during the event, and practical updates will be posted in this WhatsApp group:
https://chat.whatsapp.com/IFeddZeWHdpKL5MW6CuQus
It is strongly recommended to join the group, at least temporarily for this event, so you can get updates reliably.

Who it’s for
Singles aged 18–39 who want to meet people offline in a low-pressure and active setting.
Come alone or with friends.
We’ll likely speak a mix of English and Norwegian depending on who shows up.

Why sign up on Dypere, not only Meetup
This event is built for Dypere, not as a Meetup-only gathering.
On Dypere, you log in with Vipps (if you have it), create a user, and build a profile through guided questions. These are short conversation-style answers that show up on your profile. This helps people see who might be at the event before and after the run.
The official attendance list and event page are on Dypere:
https://www.dypere.no/arrangementer/7hdRytx40s7dxsSCiuTwtA

If you don’t have Vipps
You can RSVP here on Meetup and answer the questions that appear when you sign up.
We use your answers to add simple profiles on Dypere, so people on the platform can see who is coming from this Meetup group. You do not get a Dypere login or account this way; it only lets your answers appear alongside the other attendees in the event context on Dypere.
If you can, we still recommend creating your own Dypere profile with Vipps when you’re ready.

When
Monday 8 June 2026
The event starts at 18:00.

  • Clothes you can run in
  • A water bottle
  • Swimwear and a towel if you might swim
  • A light extra layer for after the run
  • Snacks or something to share after the run, optional

Cost
The event is free. Anything you buy or bring is up to you, but snacks are always appreciated.

Safety
Running and swimming are at your own pace and comfort level. Skip the swim if you’re not into it. Listen to your body during the run; the first lap is meant to include everyone.
Outdoor activities depend on weather. If the event is cancelled or changed, we’ll post an update in the comments here, on Dypere, and in the WhatsApp group as early as possible.

Questions
Comment on this event and I’ll reply when I can.

Hope to see you by the lake.
