As a participant, you can store your luggage for free at a supervised cloakroom. You will receive a wristband, which allows you to retrieve your luggage after the run. Please note, no lockers are available on-site! Make sure to bring a bag for your belongings, as only bags will be accepted at the cloakroom—no loose items.

Important: Only 1 piece of luggage per participant is allowed.

Storing your luggage is always at your own risk.

Of course, you are very welcome to come and cheer on the participants! Admission is free, and the venue opens at 8:30 AM. In addition to numerous obstacles, there will be various stands, catering, and more around the start and finish area. Please note that parking fees may apply if you use the parking facilities.

Strong Viking is not a race; it’s your own challenge. At each obstacle, there is an option to ‘walk by,’ allowing you to decide your own limits and how far you want to push yourself!

To ensure the safety of our participants and staff, we conduct a risk assessment for each run. Based on this assessment, we implement necessary measures to guarantee safety. These measures may include deploying traffic controllers, rescue services, first aid teams, or other support services.

Water quality
Before the run, we test the quality of the water that participants will go through. We always recommend using the rinsing facilities at the event site after the run and taking a nice shower at home.
