Fat Viking
Geilo, Norway
50, 100, & 150 k
What ever your choice might be, it´s going to be an adventure!
You will experience the wild nature of the Norwegian highlands in the coldest time of the year.
FAT VIKING is a WINTER ULTRA ENDURANCE event under somewhat more "controlled" circumstances than the Iditarod Trail Invitational.
The race course runs mainly on the cc-trail net around Geilo/ Skurdalen/ Dagali and crosses the R7/ R40 road. There are "bail out options" which we will highlight at the pre-race meeting.
Our checkpoints are serviced and inside a proper building. You are offered some basic food and you can rest there.
Fat Viking is a non-commercial Geilo Sports Club event organized by the "FATVIKINGSOCIETY".
Bringing the Alaskan tradition of long distance winter racing to Norway!
A long distance fatbike race where being self-sufficient, making the right choices and keeping warm is as important as covering the distance.
Fat Viking 150 is an official qualifying race for the Iditarod Trail Invitational.
Those who manage to cover the full distance in less than 36h have checked off one of two qualifiers for the ITI in Alaska. You still need to apply for the Iditarod!
