Race Description:

Montane Kong Vinter takes place in the Copenhagen area and gives the participants unique experiences in nature as they seek out spectacular features and complete challenges along the course. It's a team race where orienteering, running, mountain biking, climbing and canoeing (only the master route) are the main ingredients. The race is known for it's challenging navigation and innovative challenges, which have included tree climbing, and a checkpoint on a fighter jet!

The race is organised by Lars Bukkehave, who has 15 years of experience with this event and lays out a route that is exciting for everyone.  Lars is an experienced competitor himself and an ARWS referee.  

The race is normally a winter event, but in 2026 will be the ARWS Europe Championship and moves to August, so it will be a different experience for past competitors.  The championship race will also be a 36 hour course (usually it is 24), so there will be more time and more daylight to explore the forests, coast, countryside and waterways of Denmark! 

As a regional championship the winning Premier Mixed team of 4 will win a place at the 2027 Adventure Racing World Championship.
