---ON REGISTRATIONS:
You sign up on your own, but you finish as a team. Bring a friend if you want, or come solo — either way, you won’t leave as strangers.

Show up at the starting point with water, the required weight, and anything else you need. You’ll meet your event leader there, who will check your gear and pack weight before you start.

From that point on, you stick with your team the whole way. The event leader stays with you until everyone who started as individuals finishes as a team
— and earns the Polaris patch.

---ABOUT POLARIS EVENTS
Polaris events are team-based,
just like our regular meetups.

They're not about racing or speed.
They're about putting in real effort, dealing with tough situations, and supporting each other through it.

You’ll learn by doing,
step into leadership when it’s needed,
and push through as a team
across some of the best routes in Oslo.

The hardest part?
That’s always going to be
deciding to sign up.
