Thursday 28th of June: Sprint race at Hove.
Map: Hove sprint map. Revised in 2018. Scale 1: 5000.
Hove has one of southern Norway’s finest terrain for sprint. The area has lots of trails making it especially suitable for sprinting. It is a favorite tourist spot with its beautiful beaches and good accessibility.
