Challenge Sandefjord 2024

Here are five reasons to participate in the Challenge Sandefjord race:

1. Sandefjord is a place with a rich historical heritage, making it the land of the Vikings.
2. The course is fast, fun, and great for spectators.
3. The race location is compact, so everything is within easy walking distance.
4. The region is full of history and ancient Viking monuments, including the ‘End of the World.’
5. The run through the city centre is unforgettable, with streets lined with cheering spectators.

Challenge Sandefjord is easy to reach from Oslo for both local and international athletes. The race begins with a single lap 1.9km swim in the sheltered waters of Sandefjordsfjorden. The entire course is visible from the breakwater, making it perfect for spectators.

The two-lap bike course takes you out of the city and into one of the hot spots on the course, Dølabakken (The DØLA hill), where you can get an energy boost from the cheering spectators and music. The rolling countryside landscape offers you beautiful views of lakes and cheering spectators at the aid station at Kodal. From Kodal, you’ll have some fast stretches on your way over to Stokke. It’s worth noting that the first prime minister in Norway, Fredrik Stang (1808-1884), was from Stokke. From Stokke, you’ll have 15km left on your way back to Sandefjord city. You’ll pass the historic “Gokstadhaugene,” where one of the oldest Viking ships has been found in Norway. In this area, you can run the risk of meeting crazy Norwegian Vikings before speeding up and heading back to the city centre, turning back for lap two, or heading into T2.

The four-lap run course winds through the central city, passing famous monuments and narrow streets with typical Scandinavian houses before finishing in Badeparken by the famous Whalers’ Monument.
