Race briefing will only be published as PDF this year. There is no race briefing meeting this year.

Please check the information so you are prepared for the race tomorrow

We are looking forward to it!

We will be making some changes to our aid stations this year. Please read the detailed information below. 

Hamperokken Skyrace: 

-There will be no food/water available at the Fjellheisen at the start of the race, but there will be some fruit and bars available the second time you pass the Fjellheisen. 

-Breivikeidet aid station will this year be a “drop-point”. This means that you will turn in a bag at the start of the race that will be transported to Breivikeidet. You will be able to pack your own personally desired food/drink or other gear that can be accessed when passing Breivikeidet. There will not be any available food/water from the organizer here. There is water at river crossings shortly before and after the aid station.

-This will also be an opportunity to send any extra clothing that may be useful if you should not reach a cut-off time at Breivikeidet. We will assist with transportation back to The Edge, but there can be some waiting time. 

Tromsdalstind Skyrace and Bønntuva Skyrace:

-There will be bars and fruit available at the Fjellheisen, but a more limited selection than earlier years.

 -There will be water available, but we recommend racers to use the brook crossings on the course below the Fjellheisen. 

-All racers will receive a soft-flask from Dynafit! This is great to use to fill water along the course!

-All racers will receive a warm meal from Real Turmat at the finish.

Exciting news!

Based on the updated travel regulations concerning covid-19, we have decided to open up registration for Tromsø Skyrace 2021 for foreign residents! This applies to Hamperokken Skyrace, Tromsdalstind Skyrace and Bønntuva Skyrace. Each racer is responsible for following the current rules set by the Norwegian government regarding vaccine, quarantine, testing and documentation. Tromsø Skyrace has a “no refund policy”, and this applies to any changes that may occur that will affect traveling to Norway.  Use this website to keep yourself informed and updated about the current regulations:  https://www.fhi.no/en/op/novel-coronavirus-facts-advice/facts-and-general-advice/entry-quarantine-travel-covid19 . Tromsø skyrace will not be able to answer questions about this. 

Racers who have been promised spots in 2022 are still guaranteed pre-registration for the race next year. 

We really hope to be able to welcome you to Tromsø in august and hope that each athlete shows responsibility and respect for the current situation and the regulations set in place. 

Best regards,

Tromsø Skyrace Organizing Team

Swedish Johanna Åström conquered the women’s field with an impressive new course record. Training at home in Romsdal together with Emelie Forsberg must have helped prepare her well for Tromsø Skyrace!

Sea to Summit Blåmann Vertical

Swedish Johanna Åstrøm conquered the women’s field in the vertical kilometer, beating Emelie Forsberg’s earlier course record. She was followed on the podium by American Hillary Allen, who has returned to Tromsø (as strong as ever!) after her tragic accident here in 2017. Oihana Azkorbebeitia placed 3rd.

In the men’s race, it was a French sweep with Damien Hubert winning ahead of Yoann Calliot and Benoît Gandolfi.

Full results can be found here: https://live.eqtiming.com/46575

There is no water on the course, so you will have to bring any water you need. There will be no water at the summit/finish. We will have water jugs by the start so you can refill bottles – but no cups, so bring your own cup or bottle!

 

Awards ceremony will take place at The Edge at 9 PM. There will be a raffle with prizes from Sea To Summit Gear for those who are present.

Due to an increase in total participants in both Tromsdalstind Skyrace and Bønntuva Race, we have decided to separate the start times.

Bønntuva Race will start at 11.15 AM on Saturday, August 3rd.

There will be a 3 hour maximum time to the summit. Racers who do not reach the summit in 3 hours will be turned around by the summit crew on their way down.

There are still spots available for Bønntuva and Tromsdalstind! Come join the fun!
