Ottaløpet is a community running event held in Otta, in Gudbrandsdalen, Norway, near Rondane. The event welcomes runners of different ages and abilities, with routes and activities designed for individuals, teams, businesses, and children. Its 2027 edition is scheduled for Saturday, June 26, with all race distances starting and finishing in the park in central Otta.

Participants can enter the 5 km or 10 km races, a non-timed 5 km fitness walk or run, or a 10 km relay. Relay teams may divide the distance into as many as five legs, and the fastest team is awarded a prize. Ottaløpet also hosts a business challenge, recognizing the company with the most participants finishing across the distances. Children aged 1–12 can join a free race and receive a participation prize; young people aged 10–16 also receive a prize when taking part in the 5 km. The program includes a group warm-up led by instructors from Spenst Otta.
