The Arctic Triple races are made in and by local resources in Lofoten. 100% Lofoten. It is a core value for us to keep the races authentic. When you show up for any of the races in the triple there will be no doubt about where you are. Not only will the scenery be spectacular, but you will meet the people and culture of Lofoten. We’re on a mission to keep it real and natural!

There will be some variations between the races, but some elements will always be the same:
All races will include 100 % support from The Arctic Triple Crew. None of the races will be open for external support. This regulation is based on two important values for The Arctic Triple. We want to make sure that the races are eco-friendly and we put safety first.

The bonus for the athletes is that they will know that the race they take part in care and take responsibility for the environment. In addition it is much cheaper than having to get your own support crew! For many it is also a challenge to even get a support crew – here you can show up and we’ll have it all set for you. The athletes can focus on what really matters – the race.

Everyone that finish a race will off course get a finisher T-shirt. We’ll also include one or two meals in the entry fees (before and after the race) – and it will be great food!
Not to forget – there will be GPS tracking on all races with live tracking!

We want everyone coming to have a great race, but also that the days around will be a good experience.

The award winning company XXLofoten took the initiative for The Arctic Triple. They have been very successful in Lofoten for years with their events for especially the business market. For some time they had noticed how the market for adventure races had grown all over the world and knowing what a spectacular arena Lofoten is – they just made the jump and went all in to make sure races like these in Lofoten would be made in and by local resources. We strongly believe that the local commitment will be what makes these races last for years and become epic events for anyone taking part – both as athletes and supporters. Not to forget being in The Arctic Triple Crew!

Lofoten is a very popular destination and for the last couple of years we have experienced that everything is booked, especially from June until August. Because of that fact we have made sure that there will be rooms available for all of the races in The Arctic Triple.

When you complete your enrollment for The Arctic Triple – Lofoten Triathlon you will be given a reference code. Using this reference you can book your stay in Svolvær. The booking is part of our enrollment system and you will get all the info you need to complete the process when you enroll.

See list of other options on under “where to stay” on this page.

The easiest route is to fly to Oslo or Trondheim. Then you get a connecting flight to Bodø. In Bodø you can fly directly to Svolvær airport (Helle) which is a 5 minute drive from the city center. Norwegian usually has some good deals on air tickets from Oslo/Trondheim to Bodø. From Bodø you have to use Widerøe.

We recommend flying to either Trondheim or Bodø and then jump on the Hurtigruten (coastal ferry). It’s only a 10 min drive from the airport to where the Hurtigruten leaves from Bodø.

Arriving by boat to Lofoten is nothing but the perfect arrival.. So if you have the time – get on board! It takes about 6 hours from Bodø and about 1,5 days from Trondheim.

Note! If you don’t make it to the Hurtigruten, which leaves Bodø early afternoon, you can get on the speed boat that leaves a little later in the afternoon. This boat takes half the time and follows the coastline from Bodø to Svolvær. A very nice tour!

We’ll always recommend anyone coming to Lofoten for the first time to spend at least a week – and even better – two weeks. Depends on how much you’d like to do.

If you like the outdoors Lofoten is just an endless adventure.. Hiking, climbing, kayaking, horseback riding, biking, surfing, fishing, Sea eagle safaries and so on.
If you are into arts Lofoten is famous for it’s attraction to artist and there are many galleries and art shops around. You could spend a whole day in Henningsvær just wandering around small shops, galleries and get good coffee and enjoy the best cinnamon buns ever at the famous café named Lysstøperiet.

If you join a race – arrive the weekend before to enjoy the Lofoten islands, or stay a few of days after.

The Arctic Triple has a strong focus on the environment. We are lucky to be able to do these races in the amazing and wild nature of the Lofoten islands, and for this to continue we need to take care. That’s exactly what we are planning to do.

We want to do everything we can to make the most environmentally friendly races in the world – and having hundreds of support cars on the roads just does not sound right. So we’ll do all the support for the races. Big job on us.. We’re up for it! You save time, money and effort – we all save the environment. The bonus is also that it will be safer for all of us without all the support cars trying to find a parking spot on our narrow roads.

The temperature is usually somewhere between 10 and 20 degrees celcius in summer. However, be prepared in the mountains that during bad weather it might drop closer to zero. On good days the temperature can be between 20 and 28 degrees. The water temperature for the triathlon will be 14-16 degrees.

In winter the average temperature is -1 celcius. Thanks to the gulf stream for mild winters!
