MTB & E-MTB 57km | 650m elevation
The mountain bike race starts from Mieraslompolo, where competitors begin climbing an extremely rocky track before reaching the Kaldoaivi wilderness, which stretches for over 50 km.
The route is varied: it passes through magical landscapes of mountain birch, dry and swampy trails, rocky terrain, three major water crossings, and the culturally and socially important scenery of the Skalluvaara reindeer round-up area.
At the end of the route, competitors are rewarded with magnificent views of snow-capped Arctic hills in Norway.
The finish line is at the Monitoimitalo in Utsjoki, where you can recover from the race.
Along the route, competitors pass one service point, located 39 km into the race at Skalluvaara (map). You can collect drinking water on the route straight from streams and rivers. Finland has some of the cleanest water in the world!
Competitors have a maximum of 13 hours to complete the race.
