The Arctic Triple / Lofoten Ultra-Trail / Norway

This race has everything. Mountains. Beaches. Villages. Farms. Peaks. Iconic bridges. 100% Lofoten! There will be trails. Some easy, some of them technically demanding. There may also be snow covering part of the trails. Part of the terrain legs will not have trails at all – even if the official maps you have bought tells you so. There are a few flat running km here and there on either asphalt or gravel road. The course will be marked from start to finish. However, we recommend you to use your clock/gps and/or map for quick checks if you are in doubt of your position. We strongly recommend that all participant’s take a very close look at the entire route on detailed maps before entering the race. GPS tracks will be available to download on www.thearctictriple.no minimum 14 days before the race. Please note that the route may change due to weather conditions.
