The race, which is being hosted by Explore Sweden and organized by Michael Nordstrom and Helena Lind, promises to be a highlight of the year. The 800km course through Lapland will give 40 teams the chance to explore the mountains and fjords in the Land of the Midnight Sun as they compete for the World title.
Some teams have already qualified, and others will get priority entry through the ARWorld Series qualification criteria, with any remaining places available on application.
