The Styrkeprøven – Norwegian for “The Great Trial of Strength” – is one of the world’s longest and toughest amateur cycling races, covering over 500 kilometers from Trondheim to Oslo.

This year, four passionate cyclists from different companies came together as a Team to take on this legendary endurance challenge.

We rode 520 kilometers with nearly 5,000 meters of elevation – on road bikes, with only short breaks, full determination, and a strong sense of camaraderie.

We achieved one of our fastest times ever – even while facing strong southerly headwinds for more than 350 km – thanks to fantastic teamwork, high spirits, and plenty of fun along the way.

We returned by ferry – tired, proud, and already looking forward to the next challenge.

A heartfelt thank you to our generous sponsors who made this unforgettable experience possible:

Hoppe Marine GmbH, MaDaTec - Marine Data Technology, Leonhardt & Blumberg, F.H. Bertling Logistics, Germania Shipyard Agency GmbH, Lloyd's Register, Marlow Navigation – and others.

Your support carried us all the way to Oslo – and beyond!
