Amandaløpet har utviklet seg til å bli en kombinasjon av alvor og moro. For mens noen få stiller i skikkelig løpsantrekk og satser sterkt på å komme først i mål (man tar kun tiden på de 20 raskeste), er resten å betrakte som et karnevalsopptog. Men god trim er den flere kilometer lange rundturen for alle som deltar. På tross av moro og stadig mer fantasifulle antrekk og påfunn, har deltakerantallet vist en nedadgående tendens. I år var ca 400 påmeldt før løpet startet, mens det tidligere har vært oppe i nærmere 1000.

English:
The royal wedding last Saturday between our crown prince Håkon and his Mette Marit, now our crown princess (at the moment on a wedding vacation in USA), had given many ideas of how to dress in this Saturdays Amanda Run. This carnival like yearly event give hundreds of local women (only) their own run. Some run it, but most of them walk and have a lot of fun around the app 4 kilometer long rennet. The pictures below show you all some of the creations that were presented:
