At 09:56 AM Thursday April 4th 2019 we had the new World Champions in Long Distance Kiting crossing the finishing line in Vardø: Navrhuju Snist Psy from Czech Republic. Congratulations!! We had a close race in the top four coming into CP Vadsø and Navrhuju Snist Spy beat silver madalists Windy Alpboys (Switzerland/Germany) with only eight minutes in Vardø. 

The list of VAKE teams / heroes 2019 is complete! We have 32 teams fighting for the WISSA World Champion title representing Denmark | Canada | Czech Republic | Finland | France | Germany | Norway | Russia | Slovakia | Sweden | Switzerland. Among them three all female teams, five mixed teams, four family teams, new teams and teams with a new participant. 

South east wind 12-14 m/s at the start, snowdrift, but good visibility and first teams at checkpoint Ragguvidda after only 1 hour and 44 minutes. Windy Alpboys chased by Navrhuju Snist Psy, Alliansen and Beckett Brothers. 

Although Varanger Arctic Kite Enduro runs through rather remote areas of the Varanger Peninsula, we try to make the thrill of the competition accessible to our audience. How can you follow the kiters? Through live tracking, social media and at the checkpoints.
