No time limits, extreme exhaustion, sleep deprivation and competitors to watch. The 2018 edition of VAKE will be one big team racing towards Vardø. Join us!

The inspiration for Varanger Arctic Kite Enduro, came from the sled dog races. - Why not have a kite expedition race with checkpoints like Finnmarksløpet or Iditarod? we thought back then. And VAKE was born. Now we look back and take a step ahead.
