Overview
The Lofoten Ultra Trail 100 Miles, organized by The Arctic Triple, has been run 10 times since 2016 in Kirkefjorden, Moskenes, Norway. With a total elevation gain of 7000 meters over 166 kilometers, its 42.2 meters of climb per kilometer makes it a challenging mountain race.
Runners face a total time limit of 38 hours, translating to a cutoff pace of 13.7 minutes per kilometer. This cutoff is more generous than 29% of 100-mile races, offering a little more margin for slower sections compared to nearly a third of its peers. The race typically draws a larger field than 77% of 100-mile races, meaning runners will find more company on the trails compared to many other events of this distance.
