Embark on an epic journey with Nordic Chase 3, part of the self-supported ultra race series connecting major capital cities across northern Europe. This year’s third installment takes runners from Amsterdam to Copenhagen through three countries: Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark. The route begins in vibrant Amsterdam, known for its canals, historic architecture, and lively atmosphere. From there, participants will traverse diverse landscapes as they make their way eastward into Germany, encountering both rural farmlands and bustling urban centers along the way. The journey continues through scenic Danish terrain before finally reaching Copenhagen, a city renowned for its modern design, cultural landmarks, and vibrant coastal settings. The race is designed to challenge runners with varied terrains including flat plains, rolling hills, and stretches of woodland, offering both physical endurance tests and breathtaking views at every turn. Self-support means participants must carry their own gear and supplies throughout the entire journey, adding an extra layer of logistical planning to this already demanding adventure. With its rich cultural heritage and stunning natural beauty, Nordic Chase 3 promises a unique blend of history, nature, and personal challenge for all who dare to take part. Join runners from around the world as they push their limits through three countries on one unforgettable journey.
