Question 1

How do I get to the Kirkefjord start line?

Accepted Answer

Kirkefjord is accessible only by boat from Reine. The race organizers usually provide a dedicated athlete ferry from the Reine harbour; check the participant guide for the exact sailing schedule.

Question 2

What is the mandatory gear for the race?

Accepted Answer

Due to Arctic conditions, you must carry a waterproof jacket and trousers with taped seams, thermal base layers, a hat, gloves, a survival blanket, a whistle, and enough food/water to last between remote checkpoints.

Question 3

Is the course marked?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is marked with flags and reflective tape, but a GPS device with the route uploaded is mandatory due to the technical terrain and potential for sudden fog.

Question 4

What is the terrain like?

Accepted Answer

Extremely technical. Expect steep ridges, loose rock, muddy marshland, and potentially snow patches. This is a true mountain trail, not a road run.

Question 5

Where is the packet pickup?

Accepted Answer

Packet pickup is usually held at the race headquarters in Svolvær for the longer distances and Reine for the shorter distances. Check your registration confirmation for your specific slot.

Question 6

Can I use road running shoes?

Accepted Answer

No. Deep-lugged trail running shoes are essential for grip on slippery rocks and mud. Waterproof socks are also highly recommended.
