Pasvik Trail 2025 – 30th Anniversary

The Pasvik Trail is a long-distance dog sled race held annually in Norway from late March to early April. It starts in Svandhovd, Pasvik, and winds through pine forests, river stretches along the Russian border, and the mountain valley near the Finnish border, with checkpoints in Neiden and Vaggetem before returning to Svandhovd. Originating from the Pasvik 250 race in the early 1990s, the Pasvik Trail began in its current form in 1995 as a 200km race, expanding to 250km in 2002. The race features two classes: an open class with flexible dog numbers and a standard 8-dog team class, which has occasionally been a Norwegian championship event. The race will celebrate its 30th anniversary in 2025.
