Checkpoint Norråker, about 100 km north west of Strömsund, about one and a half hour’s drive away.
The checkpoint area is located near Parken (the Park) in Norråker. Close to Parken will also be a parking area for the handler’s cars. In Parken, there are toilets and a shower. Simple food/sandwich/coffee will be for sale inside Parken during the race.
Note: as demand for tickets in the sleeping hall has been extremely low the past years we will not offer this option during AR 2027. (The costs are simply way too high for an average of fewer than 5 people that purchased sleeping room tickets. Also, warming up a complete sporting hall for so few people does not comply with our sustainability goals. We hope for your understanding). Accommodation for rent can be found at the website Norråker Bo&Äta
For more service, please turn to Norråkers Handel (normal opening hours: Friday 10-18, Saturday 10-14 and 24hr service with Swedish bank ID) and the unmanned gas station (open 24hrs).
