75 km

75 km

The 75 km route is designed to be accessible, yet still properly challenging. It’s just as suitable for first-time long-distance riders as it is for experienced cyclists who want a more compact day on the bike. A phenomenal start and finish at Torvet, right in the heart of Trondheim.

• Same spectacular opening as the 130 km, including Côte de Grøset (Cat 3) with KOM Challenge
• 2 feed stations: Spongdal and Klæbu
• Ideal as a first long-distance ride, for groups of friends, company teams, and recreational riders of all levels

> New! The 75 km distance is now open for registration without timing. Read more here.

Start at Torvet

Start and finish at Torvet, right in the heart of Trondheim city centre. From the square, the peloton winds its way through the city streets via Sandgata and Kongens gate before heading toward the fjord and the beautiful surroundings that make Trondheim so unique.

Toward the Fjord and Côte de Grøset

Leaving the city, the route heads west toward Ilsvika, Trolla, and Flakk. Here you’ll meet the first major test of the day: Côte de Grøset — a Category 3 climb with its own KOM Challenge and official timing. At the top, riders are greeted by sweeping views of the Trondheimsfjord and high-pulse excitement for the climbers.

Gaulosen

After Grøset, the peloton rolls through the rolling terrain of Byneset. At Spongdal, you’ll reach the first feed zone—perfect for refilling bottles and energy before continuing along a route offering stunning views toward Gaulosen.

The route then continues to Leinstrand.

Leinstrand

From Leinstrand, the 75 km riders take on a short gravel segment before the terrain undulates toward Tanem, where the 75 km and 130 km routes merge once again.

Klæbu

After Tanem, the terrain rises toward Klæbu, home to the third feed station of the event.
The 75 km riders take a shorter path than the 130 km riders, crossing Nidelva via Sveanvegen before heading into Klæbu.

Finish

From Klæbu, the route heads north along the valley and the Nidelva river, before turning toward Sluppen and completing the final kilometers back to Torvet — for a true Tour de France–style finish filled with cheers, music, and a full-on festival atmosphere in Trondheim.
