NUMBER BIBS AND TIME CHIPS?
At the black Tough Viking tents at the venue, you can pick up your start kit containing your number headband (a headband with a unique number) and timing chip. Start kit pickup is available on Friday from 11:00-18:00 and on Saturday from 09:00. You must collect your start kit at least one hour before your personal start time and present a valid ID. If you’re picking up packets for friends, you must have a signed authorization. Your start time is the one you selected during registration, which you should also receive via SMS a few days before the race. This SMS needs to be shown when collecting your packet. If you didn’t provide your phone number during registration, the SMS will go to the person who registered you.
For the Kids Race, pickup is only available on race day.
Collecting Someone Else’s Start Kit
It is possible to collect another participant’s start kit if you have both parties’ IDs or a simple authorization letter that includes a copy of the ID of the person giving the authorization.
Example of authorization:
I, [full name and personal ID number], authorize [full name and personal ID number] to collect my race kit.
Signature: [signature]
Attached: Copy of my ID
We also accept that the person collecting the race kit shows a photo of the participant’s ID on their phone, along with their own valid ID.

HOW TO ADD NEW MEMBERS TO A TEAM?
Find the team in the team list by scrolling and add yourself as you sign up for the race. You chose how you want to compete – individually or as a team – in the sign up system.
Please note that it is not possible to add more team members to your team if that starting group is full. In this case if you wish to add more team members, the members of the team have to change starting group to a group that has open spots and then the new member can sign up for the team. We will not over fill starting groups as this does not benefit anyone.
TOUGH VIKING – LENGTH AND HOW HARD IS A RACE?
The length of the courses varies from venue to venue and each course is unique. The race at the Royal Djurgården is 15 km and the races in Gothenburg as well as Stockholm Stadium are around 8 km.
The courses are set in detail a few months prior to start and are publicized here and at our Facebook page.
Remember that a Tough Viking race is anything but a flat walk in the park. Be prepared. Train. Hard.
