Norway's best Pumptrack Challenge

Heart Pumping. Legs Burning. Full Gas

The Pumptrack Challenge is all about rhythm, speed, and pure flow. Riders take on the track one at a time, pumping every roller, berm and transition — no pedalling, just momentum and technique.

It’s the perfect blend of skill and timing:
carry speed, stay composed, and hold the cleanest line you can.

Whether you’re on a BMX, DJ bike, downhill rig or enduro setup, this is one of the most accessible and fun competitions of the week.

Expect quick runs, tight times, and a loud crowd right on the fence.

A true Veko classic.

Location

The race takes place at the pumptrack outside Myrkdalen Hotel — a fan-favorite spot with great viewing, good vibes, and plenty of energy. Just after Dual Slalom, Myrkdalen is the perfect venue for a full MTB festival day.
