The Arctic Race of Norway is much more than a cycling race.
Across the four race days, the host cities and municipalities welcome fans, families, partners and local communities through a full programme of side events. From the ARN Village and the Arctic Race Caravan to children’s races, public activities, conferences and cycling challenges, everyone can be part of the Arctic Race atmosphere.
