Pasvik Trail
April 4 - April 7
Pasvik Trail is a long-distance race in Norway, it is organized every year at the end of March/beginning of April. Pasvik Trail is known for its friendly atmosphere and its unique nature experience.
The Pasvik Trail starts from Svandhovd in Pasvik. The route goes through the pine forest in Pasvikdalen and offers everything from river stretches along the Russian border to the mountain ether valley along the Finnish border. The race has checkpoints in Neiden and Vaggetem, before the finish line back to Svanhovd.
In 1992 and 1993, the Pasvik 250 was organized, this was the precursor to the Pasvik Trail before Sør-Varanger Sled Dog Club took over the event. The Pasvik Trail was completed for the first time in 1995, a race of around 200km. The race celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2005. From 2002, the Pasvik Trail has been a race of 250 km. The race has two classes: an open class where the number of dogs is decided by the competitor, and another for teams of 8 dogs. In 2002, 2005, 2007 and 2008, the 8-team class had the status of Norwegian long-distance dog sledding championship. We look forward to celebrating our 30th anniversary in 2025!
