Registrations for the Edition VI 2023 will open on thursday 1 December 2022 at 9 pm (Italian time) and will close on Tuesday 28 February 2023.

For the 2023 Edition VI are available 250 slots (first come first served)

The registration procedure will take place on the event website (www.northcape4000.com).

At NorthCape4000 we have no intermediate stages of approval of the participants and to register, except for a medical certificate which is required of all riders, you will not have to present any other documents. Once you have completed the registration and payment procedure you will be 100% sure to be on board, NorthCape is waiting for you.

The event registration procedure is quick and easy and you will be able to register for the event in just 2 steps.

Registrations will remain open until tuesday 28 February 2023 (from 1 December 2022 to 15 January 2023 price range 1 – from 16 January 2023 to 28 February 2023 price range 2), subject to exhaustion of available places (250), in that case, the registration page, regardless of the date, will be automatically blocked by the system when the quota is reached and it will no longer be possible to access the event for the Edition VI 2023.

The NorthCape4000 organization may, at any time and at its sole discretion, reserve the right to refuse registration, providing for the immediate reimbursement of the fee paid.

Registration for the event is non-refundable and is valid only for the current edition.

But it is right, and we would like to explain the reasons: unlike other Bikepacking events at NorthCape4000 we have extremely clear standards of the event and we immediately decided to create an event with certain quality characteristics.

These features have a very high cost.

Whether it is the inspections made by the Staff throughout Europe or the maniacal study with which every year we provide a track of 4000 km, the complete coverage of the event in the field with professionals in tow, 2 service cars and latest generation equipment, or of the GPRS trackers included in the registration, the NorthCape4000, at the time of writing, is the only UltraDistance, which on these mileage and in addition to the professional cycling events, offers and guarantees such a level of quality and investments.

In a micro world like Bikepacking it is easily verifiable and since we are sure of what we say, we invite you to check.

Precisely for the standards that we have therefore decided to give to the event and whatever the number of participants of each edition, every year we expose ourselves in advance to guarantee an unchanged level of quality and that does not depend in any way on our Partners, and we do it without knowing the result of each edition, incurring huge costs both in the launch phase and later, on the basis of each participant to the event.

This is the reason why your registration fee, even if you decide not to use it, will be used to keep the NorthCape4000 active and increasingly maintained.

Cancellation – If, for reasons of force majeure that do not depend on the organization but from environmental reasons and / or health causes and / or deriving from the geopolitical situation at a national or international level, the event could not take place, the amount paid at the time of registration will not be refunded but will be considered valid for the next edition. In any case, the organization will have the right, for those who register free of charge for the next edition, to a contribution for secretarial expenses and the renewal of the sports card (mandatory by law) of € 47.00.

The payment of the secretarial contribution and the sports card must be made by the date indicated by the organization, which will inform the participants by means of a specific communication.

Shifting of the event – Furthermore, for reasons of force majeure or other serious reasons, which could jeopardize the preparation of the event or the participation in it by a number of people not less than half of the members, the Organization reserves the right to move the place and / or date of the event within the same calendar year. In this case, the fee paid for registration will be valid for the event on the rescheduled date, without increasing costs for members. In this case, it is not possible to move the registration to the following year’s edition.

At NorthCape4000, the true legacy of the event is you. You will embark on a wonderful two-wheeled experience that will inspire other people, for this reason, once registered and if you want, you will be protagonists on the Riders 2023 page. The world needs positive examples!

The validation action can be represented by the passage itself in front of the Gate or, at the choice of the participant, by the affixing of the stamp on their CDP (Carnet De Passage) by the staff of the Gate.

In the NorthCape4000 Edition VI 2023 the following Gates will be active:

G1 Lausanne (details in the participant digital guide)

G2 Paris (details in the participant digital guide)

G3 Oslo (details in the participant digital guide)

G4 Lapland (details in the participant digital guide)

Recommendation: The Gates are often in a position of tourist importance and in some cases bicycle thefts have been recorded, so we advise participants to ensure, during the registration operations, that the bike is placed in a safe place or within reach inside the Gate.

Since its inception, NorthCape4000 has been characterized by the physical presence of its staff in the field up to North Cape. We are talking about covering the whole of Europe. Together with us, 2 service cars, a control gate system organized with staff from all over Europe and the latest technological equipment.

Nevertheless, you can understand that, in an event of such distance and scope, it is very difficult to ensure that all participants are taken in the photos and videos of the edition, even if deploying considerable resources. We assure you that we will do our best to make you protagonists of the event, but please do not to send us emails or publish posts, as already happened, to ask to appear in the videos or to be reached by the nearest car, as well as complain about not being framed.

Remember that we, like you, cover the whole Europe and have no preferences. In addition, while the participant ahead is probably in Sweden, the one in the queue is still in Austria, so there may be even a 1500 km long distance, then it is impossible to cover every participant with photos and videos; it would be nice, but it is not really feasible, believe us.

Furthermore, remember that the NorthCape4000 experience will remain unique regardless of whether you are shown in the videos or not, because even if they are beautiful, they are only the outline of your magical Adventure. Live the event without distractions and with the spirit that most satisfies you, we guarantee that you will treasure the greatest experience of your life.

The NorthCape4000 was born with a specific purpose: to make people’s lives better through a formidable Sporting and Human Experience.

Making it better means enjoying and capitalizing on an experience that for most people only happens once in a lifetime. For this reason, everything related to the event should be experienced and interpreted, by those who intend to take part, with positive emotion, enthusiasm, courtesy towards others and towards the Staff, as well as awareness of being able to experience something Extraordinary in able to open your mind and really change your life. Fortunately, this happens in almost all of the people who attended the event.

Unfortunately, however, sometimes it happens that this spirit is completely misunderstood or ignored, with the result that not only is the event not experienced as it was conceived and designed, but the event is used to vent one’s anger, unhappiness and frustration, using incorrect tones towards those who, 365 days a year, work hard on the growth of the event.

This behavior not only disrespects the Staff but above all pollutes the atmosphere of the event and damages in the first place those who, rightly, come to NorthCape4000 to have a positive parenthesis that goes beyond the problems, clashes, anxieties and frustrations typical of everyone’s daily life.

Always remember that the purpose of participating in this event is to do an extraordinary thing that will make you happy and that you can tell with contagious enthusiasm, so approach the event in all its aspects with happiness and joy of being there, after all .. you are here for it.

So a tip, if you participate in the NorthCape4000 always remember why you decided to do it.

The organization reserves the right at any time and at its sole discretion to remove people who are not in line with the event.

Participating in the NorthCape4000 means giving yourself and your life a gift of unique value, as long as you are aware and become aware of taking part in an UltraDistance Adventure in complete autonomy. The Adventure, by its very nature and definition, requires flexibility, a spirit of adaptation and the ability to read conditions on the field. Despite the obsessive care and scruple we place in the preparation of each single edition, it is physically impossible to predict the real conditions that you will find on the field at the time of the event. For this reason, you are responsible for viewing the route sent with the utmost care, providing support and supply points, night points, etc.

We choose the best roads in Europe but it is easy to understand, given the length of the event, that the conditions on the field could be different or change suddenly for a thousand reasons and at any time: detours, road works, closures of other communication routes and diverted traffic flows. For this reason, in the presence of improvised and extraordinary circumstances that you may find on you are free to exit the track, at your complete discretion, and to resume it as soon as the safety conditions are restored.

Tackle this Adventure responsibly, with awareness and preparation, and you will treasure the Greatest Experience of your Life.
