Practical stuff
We cannot cover your travel-expences, but we can get you from Kirkenes on the VAKE-bus before the race.
In Berlevåg, you can sleep in the sports-hall or arrange something else yourself. At the checkpoints, you must be prepared to sleep in a tent and you need to bring the right equipment for it. We will provide food.
After the race, you might just have a floor to sleep on, but we’ll try to get you som more comfortable, depending on how many that are in need.
Transportation between checkpoints or other will most likely be by car. We will work out the detailed logistics when we have an overview.
It is a huge advantage to us if you bring your own car (and snowmobile would be awesome) and can move independently.
