The 50km trail crosses a reindeer fence in Luulampi after approx. 40km. There is a gate in the fence and every participant must look after that the gate will be closed behind one. If you come to the fence alone, make sure to close the gate - even if you see another participant coming behind you. It is only fair that every participant/group opens and closes the gate. If you come to the fence in a group, the entire group must wait so that the last participant closes the gate.

Every participant is obliged to follow the trail markings at all times.

If you quit the race, inform about it by SMS/WhatsApp to +358 45 78353213.

The organizer has right to give time penalties to participants who fail to follow the rules.

As Arctic Trail is a mass event, it is likely that also other participants are visible it the pictures even though they are not main targets of the documentary. If you wish not to be seen in the pictures, please let us know, so that we can do our best to exclude you from the pictures.
