The general rule for Finnmarksløpet is that the race must start in week 10.
This year we had to start one week later due to practical reasons. In 2026 we will be back to normal and start in week 10.
The start date for 2026 will therefore be 6 March.
With a small reservation, we can announce that the date for 2027 will be March 5 in week 9.
From time to time Easter is early, in 2027 the first weekend of easter will occur at the same time as our closing weekend. That is «no good», so we have to speed up the start to week 9.
