We bring the tradition back to life

Oslo - Lærdal was arranged 15 times in the period between 1986 - 2000. We have decided to bring this classic race back into the light.

One of Styrkeprøven's goals is to promote an interest for cycling in general. That is why we now want to reopen the race Oslo - Lærdal. The contest mixes the needed strength and will, as much as it promotes our spectacular Norwegian nature. In other words, an event that fits right into our portfolio. The race will be held September 1st in 2018 and will be an annual race every first weekend in September in years to come

There will be a limited number of start numbers for this race. Therefore you have to be fast to secure your bib. The start will be organized in groups. There will be a master start from Røa, through Bærum until the route meets E16 with Skui.

There will checkpoints on the route to Lærdal. The time limit will be set from the peloton. Riders who pass the checkpoints after these time limits will be overtaken by the broom wagon. There is option to take a seat in the broom wagon or continue to Lærdal at your own time and risk.
