There is a drinking station by Tromsdalselva (the river) and at the top of Salen, before you start on the last ridge towards the summit.  We require all runners to bring with them a bottle of water (minimum 0,5l) that has to be full when they cross the finish line. This is because there is no service station at the finish.
