Nordic Chase - Road

“+730 km. +5,200 m elevation. 5 days to reach Oslo. Unsupported. Unforgettable.”

Update Me!

Race it. Chase it. Do it your way.

You can go all-in and chase the clock, or take it as a personal mission. Ride solo or team up with friends — this is about adventure, resilience, and community.

Route Details

Copenhagen to Oslo. +730 km of tarmac, +5,200 meters of elevation, and 103 hours to make it happen.

This is the Nordic Chase Road Edition — an unsupported ultra-distance cycling race across three countries, tracing the stunning Kattegat coast from Denmark to Norway.

You’ll start in the vibrant streets of Copenhagen, ride north through Sjælland, take the ferry from Helsingør to Sweden, and push through forests, fishing villages, coastal climbs, and endless Scandinavian summer light — all the way to Oslo.

Note: The route was personally verified by the Organizer, Gregory Sanders, during the summer of 2025. Below are some pictures he took along the way of his trip. While the course is now confirmed, minor adjustments may still be made up until the release of the official race manual, one month prior to the event.

    🏁 We’ll be waiting at the finish line until the very last rider rolls in—all the way until the cut-off time—to make sure everyone finishes with the recognition they deserve.

  • You have 103 hours to complete the course from the moment of the grand depart (07:00 on Friday).
    That means the final finish deadline is Tuesday, 23 June at 2:00 PM.

  • Taking the ferry is completely optional—you can arrange your own travel if you prefer.

    Nordic Chase has a partnership with Go Nordic Cruiseline, giving you special cabin rates for the ferry from Oslo to Copenhagen on June 23rd. Booking a cabin with us means a cheaper rate, entry to our party on the boat, and the chance to securely bring your bicycle on the ferry.

    Important: You must arrive in Oslo before 2 PM on June 23rd (Cut-Off Time) to ensure you don’t miss the ferry. This is your responsibility, and we cannot rebook your ticket to a different date.

    For those who join us on the ferry:

    • Departure Oslo: Tuesday, June 23rd, 2026 at 4 pm

    • Collective dinner party on Ferry with the Nordic Chase participants

    • Arrival in Copenhagen: Wednesday, June 24th, 2026 at 10:00 AM

    Whether you want to relax, socialize, or ensure your bike travels safely, the ferry is a convenient and fun option!

“The best part of ultra cycling is the freedom to create your own path and immerse yourself in the world around you.”
