Cycling races for all people

Gjensidige OF30k – Experience the authentic Offroad Finnmark atmosphere!

Would you like to experience Offroad Finnmark, but in a shorter format? Now's your chance!

For the first time, we are inviting you to Gjensidige OF30k – a free recreational ride where everyone can become part of the Offroad Finnmark family. Whether you ride a mountain bike or an e-bike, this ride is for anyone who wants to enjoy a wonderful outdoor experience, a sense of accomplishment, and the joy of cycling.

Saturday July 25 at 13.00 The race begins right after the riders in the SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge OF150k have passed the Alta checkpoint in the pedestrian zone near Scandic.

You’ll experience the authentic “master start” that characterizes Offroad Finnmark when one of the ATVs from the Ski-Doo Center leads the field out of the pedestrian zone. From there, the tour continues toward Gakori and onto the legendary OF starting loop—on the very same trails ridden by participants in Offroad Finnmark’s longer-distance races.

Here, amazing nature experiences await along the world-famous Alta River, on trails that many people didn't even know existed.

This is the real Offroad Finnmark vibe and you have gPlenty of time to enjoy the hike. With a six-hour time limit, the day is all about experiences, a sense of accomplishment, and camaraderie.
