It was first held in 1964 as a non-championship event, before receiving official national sanctioning in 2004. After this change, foreign athletes could only compete as guests, and then only where they are members of a Norwegian athletics club. The competition is unusual in its long-established hosting of standing variations of the high and long jump, dating back to 1919.[1][2]
