The countdown to Janteloppet has officially begun and the best part... You can train on the real Janteloppet race course (minus the pump tracks and slalom features) right now, thanks to our official route being live on Strava.
Whether you’re a first-timer, a weekend warrior, or dreaming of lining up next to world-class athletes, this lets you experience the Janteloppet course in the most accessible and motivating way possible.
Why Train on the Official Janteloppet Route on Strava?
1. Know the Course Before You Even Get There
Strava lets you preview and practice the exact terrain, elevation, and flow of the race.
You’ll understand:
Where the climbs kick in
Where the downhills demand control
Where you can push, rest, and regroup
How the course feels at race pace
This familiarity is a massive advantage when race day comes.
2. Build Your Season Around the Actual Demands of the Race
With the route on Strava, you can plan training sessions that match the real Janteloppet profile:
Intervals on Janteloppet’s signature climbs
Endurance sessions along the rolling middle section
Technique work on the flats and transitions
You’re building fitness tailored to your race.
3. Compare Your Progress Against Yourself and Everyone Else
Because it’s Strava, you get:
Segment times
Leaderboards
Personal best tracking
Training logs that sync automatically
You’ll watch your numbers improve on the exact same segments you’ll face on race day. That’s motivating on a whole different level.
4. Train Wherever You Are
Even if you’re not in Hafjell, you can still train like you are. Use the Strava route to:
Replicate climbs and distances on skis, rollerskis, or running
Match effort levels based on elevation gain
Build long sessions that stay true to the Janteloppet feel
For roller-skiers and runners, this means full off snow conditioning.
5. Feel Part of the Community From Day One
The Janteloppet community on Strava is growing fast. Jump in early and:
See who else is training
Cheer each other on
Compare lines, splits, and strategies
Share stories from training on the real route (we may reshare)
Race day becomes even more electric when you already recognize names from the leaderboard.
This is your head start. We can’t wait to see your training sessions on Strava.
