FAT VIKING is a WINTER ULTRA ENDURANCE event under somewhat more “controlled” circumstances than the Iditarod Trail Invitational. The race course runs on snowmobile tracks, dogsledding trails, snowcovered roads and cross country skiing trails around Geilo/ Skurdalen/ Dagali. Checkpoints are inside a heated building where basic food (oatmeal) is offered along with the opportunity to rest. Several “bail out options” along the route are available in case of emergency/ abandoning the race.
