Running race distances

Digits are part of the puzzle. For example, 100m appears as 100M on the board. Some entries, such as marathon, also occur inside longer entries; find the highlighted placement for each.

Words can run forwards, backwards, vertically or diagonally. Spaces and hyphens are omitted on the board; digits and Norwegian letters are preserved.
