The twelfth edition of the Arctic Race of Norway will take 18 teams on a magical tour of Troms County, north of the Arctic Circle.

Cofidis, Team Jayco AlUla, Arkéa–B&B Hotels, Intermarché–Wanty, Team Picnic PostNL and XDS Astana Team will be the six WorldTeams rolling out of Borkenes. A total of ten teams in the Grande Boucle will set out to tame the Arctic on 7 August, embarking on an adventure through stunning fjords and jaw-dropping landscapes.

As usual, the Arctic Race of Norway will shine a light on homegrown talent, with four squads on the start list: Uno-X Mobility, Team Coop–Repsol, Lillehammer CK and the Norwegian national team. Uno-X Mobility, which claimed victory last season with Magnus Cort, will be eyeing a new triumph on home soil when the race winds to a close.

Team Jayco AlUla, the winners of the team classification of the 2024 Arctic Race of Norway, are returning to defend their title on the gruelling roads of the High North. Meanwhile, the local outfit Lillehammer CK will get its first taste of the event this year.
