About

Founded in 2003, Norseman Xtreme Triathlon is widely recognized as the world’s most demanding full-distance triathlon. The race starts with a jump from a ferry into the Hardangerfjord and finishes atop Mount Gausta, covering 226 kilometers through the raw and unpredictable Norwegian landscape.

You are welcome to join in cheering on the athletes – here are our recommended spectator spots:

📍 T2 in Austbygde (Sandviken Camping)

This is where the athletes transition from the bike leg and start the final running stage.

📍 25 km mark near Dale – the start of "Zombie Hill"

This is where the notorious climb towards Gaustatoppen begins.

📍 Bygget at Gausta – white t-shirt finish line

📍 Gaustatoppen – black t-shirt finish line

You can also cheer from along the roadside, provided you keep a safe distance and do not obstruct the athletes or traffic. Cars must be parked with all four wheels off the road.

ℹ️ More information for spectators at Norseman can be found here: https://www.nxtri.com/how-to-follow-norseman-on-race-day

 

We wish all participants the best of luck and look forward to welcoming spectators, athletes, support crews, and fans!

Speed ​​limits on the roads will be lower on race day, so please allow plenty of time and be considerate of others to ensure a safe day for all road users.
