On Saturday 13 August, you will have the opportunity to experience a unique moment when crossing the finish line of the Arctic Race of Norway stage 3! From the start in Stiklestad, you will follow the same routes as the professional riders. These will take you to the climb to the finish line in Skallstuggu, where the last 6 km have an average gradient of 5% with some sections over 10%! The road to Skallstuggu will be tough, but the reward at the finish will justify the effort, only a few hours before the Caravan and the peloton! The ARN Challenge is organised in collaboration with Levanger cycling club IL Sverre.
