It is approaching February and we are in full swing planning for this year’s race. This time of year the board use good time on strategy work, as well as that sport committee makes the final touch on the plans towards the summer. This has resulted in some news as well as some practical information.

Limited number of participants
As part of this year’s strategy work, we have decided to limit the number of participants to our races. The reason for this is, among other things, consideration of nature, the quality of the race and the capacity of the checkpoints. We want to deliver world-class service, and we do it with the number we have decided is our limit. The limit is set to the following number:

DNB OF150: 200 riders
SmartDok OF300: 110 teams
Arctic force OF700: 25 teams
Arctic force OF700 SOLO: 30 riders (Depending on the total number of participants in OF700)

This will come into effect as early as 2019. The board will continue to work on other changes, but this will come at a later date.
