But now it’s fixed, and the first entry limit is tonight at 23.59 pm.

When applying entry-information just leave the EMIT-field empty. Your entry will be registered. The correct number according to the rental-chip that is allocated to you, will be added as the entry-registration is managed.

Entry-fee of N kr 50 a day, 1 prize a day, attend as many activities as you like.
We have a seperat committee looking forward to make this a nice experience for the children!

Midnattsolgaloppen is a nice meetingplace for eager orienteers, who like the nice terrain and the midnight sun. But also the young generation likes to meet again, like the young ones in the picture on the summercamp in Sørreisa in 2012.
As Midnattsolgaloppen starts on a Saturday, it will be “Galoppkro”  at Sørreisa hotel and  meetingplace for the youngster in the park at the  hotel after the race Saturday.
In the Sunday evening we are planning a Midnightsun hike. And invite you to swim in the arctic sea, as well.
      

 Look forward to enjoyable orienteering in the Sørreisa and Harstad area. The terrain is surrounded by fjords and high mountains with snow on the top. It is mainly open woods, with nice curve-details and marshes. The runability is very good, with grass -and heather- ground. The wood is mainly open birch, but also parts  with spruce (plantation)and pine. Smaller parts with lower runability caused by bushes.
The maps are made by Ivar Helgesen in Sørreisa, and Håvard berg in Harstad.

Sørreisa and Harstad is surrounded by beatiful nature, and there is lots of things to do in addition to orienteering.
