NEWS!
Tough Viking Swedish races will be sanctioned by Svenska Friidrottsförbundet starting in 2023.
This information applies to those who intend to qualify for the European/World Championships or the Elite class. If this is the case, you should sign up for the Competition/Age Group. If you wish to participate in Tough Viking as a recreational runner and do not intend to qualify, sign up for the Open class. Of course, you will still have your time recorded even in the Open class. Most participants in Tough Viking do so in the Open class.
The regular Open class is not affected by this. Everything remains the same as before.
Competition Elite and Age Group
Tough Viking Swedish races will be sanctioned by Svenska Friidrottsförbundet (SF) starting in 2023. In order to participate in the sanctioned race, you must be a member of a club affiliated with SF. You can sign up for seeding in the Competition Elite or for participation in Competition/Age Group. See more information here about the competition rules that apply.
When registering, you choose your class (Competition Elite or Competition Age Group) under the Distances tab.
What does it mean that Tough Viking is sanctioned by SF?
It means that you can now run Tough Viking races to qualify for the European/World Championships. SF has an official ranking (https://ocr-production.up.railway.app) for participants in each competition class (Competition Elite/Age Group) and it will be a strong guiding factor for selecting national team runners for the official European and World Championships.
