It starts from the picturesque town of Eidfjord, and after 5000m of elevation gain, it finishes atop Mount Gaustatoppen. This is no ordinary event. It lures you in, it chews you up, and it spits you out. To give you a little taste of Norseman, Zwift are running a 6 week-long series of events to see if you have got what it takes to tackle a Norseman-type challenge. Naturally, there is a lot of climbing in these events, but this particular event is quite special. The Norseman Viking Challenge. Over 350 athletes have signed up to this event up Alpe du Zwift, where they will be chased by 2 fierce Vikings - the current Ironman 70.3 World Champion, Gustav Iden, and current Ironman 70.3 record holder, Kristian Blummenfelt - who will both be heading out of the start pen 15mins behind the other athletes.
