In 2022 we asked ourselves a question: is it possible to create an event that allows completely ordinary people—with families, kids, homes, and bills to pay—to live the same experience that was once accessible only to a few fortunate, globetrotting purists free from all ties?

We found the answer, and it’s called Nordkapp Classic Raid.

Let’s be honest: who hasn’t dreamed about the stories of those who, 40 years ago, set out alone on a Vespa and traveled the world far and wide? What few people know, however, is that these adventurers, in nearly every case, had little connection with what we call “normal life.” They were free from obligations and often had plenty of time to plan their adventures. But Time is exactly what most ordinary people lack today.

With over 20 years of adventures behind us, across 5 continents and 110 countries, we know all the dynamics and emotions that make great adventures special. With the Nordkapp Classic Raid, we have achieved something that was literally unthinkable before the creation of this event

Every year, we bring together Vespa riders of all ages—people living normal lives—who can experience something that retains all the features of an authentic adventure, like the incredible freedom from schedules and the choice of where to sleep and how to tackle the distance. At the same time, we provide ready-to-use solutions for the more complex aspects—time, skills, and knowledge—that previously only purists, with months of preparation, could manage.

Offering ordinary people the chance to enjoy only the best of adventure is exactly what led to the creation of the Nordkapp Classic Raid, and the results of this vision can be seen on our website, where you can enjoy the videos and photos of the previous editions.

The most meaningful result beyond all our words is the 100% satisfaction rating from those who have already participated in this extraordinary adventure.

So, what is it?

The Nordkapp Classic Raid isn’t a rally, nor is it a race—it’s an Organized Adventure. What does that mean? We give you the space to challenge yourself in the comfort of the safest and best-served continent in the world, letting you experience all the elements that make adventure so special—above all, a freedom that you’ve likely never experienced before.

However, unlike those who embark on such a journey alone, here you can rely on the strength of the group and many fellow travelers. Plus, all the more complex aspects of an adventure of this magnitude are taken care of by an organization with over 20 years of experience in adventure raids.

A fixed route for everyone, vehicle transport for the return journey, suggested stops, comprehensive information, vehicle recovery services, live video and photography coverage, secure storage at the finish, live satellite tracking, and dozens of other key aspects of the adventure are provided, fully prepared and tested by a globally recognized organization.

In short: you’re left with only the best—just hop on your Vespa, join an amazing group of riders, and live the Greatest Adventure of your life on two wheels.

———

The staff will provide you with an extraordinary route, crucial information, unrivaled media coverage, transportation solutions, and fantastic road companions to share a once-in-a-lifetime experience with. They also handle dozens of other key aspects, so even first-timers can participate in a spectacular adventure that, before the Nordkapp Classic Raid, was reserved for only a few people in the world.

That said, remember that we stay true to the spirit of adventure, and during the Nordkapp Classic Raid, you won’t receive any support or assistance from the staff. 

This isn’t a rally—it’s a Great Adventure in autonomy.

Everything included in the event registration can be found on the registration page under “What’s included.“

—————

From the start to the finish, although the staff provides road maps, suggested stages, and requires validation at each of the five checkpoints, you are free to set your own pace, decide when to stop, where to rest, where to eat, and how to manage and enjoy the stunning landscapes along the route. Maximum freedom.

No support means that you won’t receive assistance from the staff, nor can you have support vehicles following you. But you are free at any time to provide or receive help from other participants or seek assistance from local businesses, workshops, hotels, or restaurants to resolve technical issues or needs of any kind.

From the moment you start to the moment you finish, the staff will follow your journey only for monitoring and documenting purposes, with photographers and videographers capturing incredible content that will be broadcast live throughout the event.

Additionally, each participant will receive a device or satellite app on loan that will allow you to track your position live on the event’s map, enabling you to safely complete the raid and share your adventure in real-time with enthusiasts worldwide, as well as friends and family.

Now, it’s just you and your Vespa—there’s a whole world out there to conquer.

If you’re wondering about the total cost of participating in the Nordkapp Classic Raid, see point 40 on this page.

To send email communications to participants and crews, we use a program that your email client (outlook / Gmail / etc ..) could, in some cases, classify as SPAM. For this reason, if you do not receive our emails, we suggest you check the SPAM box, you will probably find our email there. If, on the other hand, you still do not receive communications from the staff, write to info@raidtribe.com and we will check.

Important : sending communications via e-mail is safe and is the channel that the organization uses to keep updated the participants. Sometimes, however, the e-mail messages may not arrive at their destination, for various reasons, so always remember that it is your responsibility to also check the other channels of the event to stay updated on any news, changes or program changes.

We want to share a bit of our story with you because we believe it’s closely connected to yours. Twenty years ago, driven by a wild and romantic idea, we began traveling on every possible vehicle to the most incredible places in the world. Adventures that profoundly and positively changed our lives, and that taught us everything we know about major raids. The RaidTribe events are the fruit of these 20 years of experience.

The first thing we understood is that adventure begins in the mind.

 Before you set off, you need to reset your mindset, prepare to challenge yourself, and embrace the unique emotions of uncertainty and epicness that only overland raids can offer. Our goal is to give you the chance to feel truly alive, to take control of your life, face challenges, and discover unforgettable landscapes. 

Adventure has a powerful impact on every aspect of our existence.

The second lesson is that initial fears are often unfounded. Of course, responsibility and awareness are necessary to experience an adventure safely, but our experience has taught us that wherever you go, you will always find people willing to help—often in ways that will surprise you.

The real world is very different from how the media portrays it. You will see with your own eyes how much people are moved by the stories of those brave enough to cross a continent on a Vespa or an old scooter. The reason is simple: it’s the dream that almost everyone carries in their heart.

The final and most important lesson is that to make dreams come true, you need to take action. We all have a thousand “one day I’ll do it” moments, but without concrete action, those dreams risk remaining just that—dreams. By signing up for this event, you will give your life a turning point, and that dream tucked away in the drawer will finally become reality.

REGISTRATION NORDKAPP CLASSIC RAID

The process is simple, fast, and secure, using the PayPal payment system (only a debit or credit card is required; it does not need to be in the participant’s name).

At the time of registration, the only required information will be:

• Rider’s personal details (and Co-Rider’s, if applicable)
• Vespa details (model, year of production).

No registration papers or other documents are needed to register.
If you are not yet sure of the vehicle you will use for the event, you can still register by entering “to be communicated later” in the vehicle fields. As soon as you have the vehicle details, you can send them via email to the staff at info@raidtribe.com.

To register for the Nordkapp Classic Raid IV 2026, you must:

• Accept the liability waivers and the event regulations during the registration process
• Enter all required information and complete the payment of the registration fee

Once the registration and payment procedure has been successfully completed, you can be 100% certain of your participation.

The organization reserves the right, at any time and at its sole discretion, to refuse a registration. In such case, the registration fee paid will be immediately refunded.

If you have decided to register for the event and start from one of the intermediate starting points — Munich (Sunday, June 14, 2026) or Berlin (Tuesday, June 16, 2026) — you can register for the event exactly like all other participants, starting from 3:00 PM on December 15, 2025.

• If you choose to depart from Munich (Sunday, June 14, 2026), you will cover 3,400 km in 13 days.
• If you choose to depart from Berlin (Tuesday, June 16, 2026), you will cover 2800 km in 10 days.

During the registration process, each participant will be asked to indicate, via a dedicated field, their preferred starting point. You will be able to choose among:

• Grand Depart Lake Garda / 8:00 AM Saturday, June 13, 2026
• Intermediate Start Munich / Sunday, June 14, 2026
• Intermediate Start Berlin / Tuesday, June 16, 2026

Once you have selected your preferred starting point, you can proceed with the registration and payment of the fee, receiving the standard confirmation by email.

Riders who have chosen one of the two intermediate starting points will receive specific instructions by email. The event kit, including the race number to be applied to the vehicle, will be delivered by the RaidTribe Staff directly at the chosen intermediate starting point.

Immediately after registering for the event you will be able to:

• Request your preferred starting number (please indicate at least three numbers in order of preference). If the requested number is still available, it will be assigned to you; otherwise, the staff will assign one to your team. The number request must be made immediately after registration via email to info@raidtribe.com.
• Provide us with the details of your sponsors (up to 4). If you have sponsors, you can request to have them displayed on your profile in the Participants Page (published after registration closes). This request must be made strictly no later than January 31, 2026, the final registration deadline.

For each sponsor you wish to promote, you must send an email to info@raidtribe.com including:

• The sponsor’s logo
• A link to their website or Facebook page or Instagram Profile

Registration for the event is non-refundable under any circumstances, non-transferable, and valid only for the current edition.

We believe it is important to explain why: unlike other adventure events, at RaidTribe we have very clear standards and, from the very beginning, we decided to create an event with precise quality characteristics.
These standards come at a very high cost.

Whether it is the scouting carried out by our Staff all across Europe, the meticulous work behind creating a 4,000+ km route, the full event coverage in the field with professionals following the teams, service vehicles, and state-of-the-art equipment, or the satellite technology included in the registration fee, as well as the complex logistics of vehicle transport that allow you to enjoy only the outbound journey without worrying about the return, the Nordkapp Classic Raid is, to this day, the only overland non-competitive Adventure which, at this mileage and outside of professional rally competitions, offers and guarantees such a high level of quality, services, and investment.

RaidTribe events are designed and managed by professionals with over 20 years of Adventure experience worldwide. For us, love for Adventure also means responsibility toward participants, deep expertise, and absolutely no improvisation. In the niche world of Vespa events and overland Raids, this is easily verifiable — and since we stand firmly by our words, we invite you to check for yourself.

From the outset, we committed ourselves to maintaining an unchanged level of quality regardless of the number of participants. This standard does not depend on our partners or sponsors but on substantial costs we take on both during the launch phase and afterwards, based on each registration.

This is why, even if you decide not to use your registration, your fee will still be invested into keeping the Nordkapp Classic Raid alive, continuously refined, and of the highest standard.

In case of non-participation, the event package will not be shipped.

Cancellation – In the event of force majeure circumstances, such as environmental and/or health-related conditions, national or international geopolitical situations, or unforeseen extraordinary conditions that prevent logistical partners from providing the return transport of vehicles as planned, the event may be canceled. In such cases, the registration fee paid will not be refunded but will be applied to the following edition. The organization is not responsible for causes beyond its control or for the actions of its partners.

Relocation – 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 the Nordkapp Classic Raid, the true treasure of the event is you.
You will embark on a memorable two-wheeled adventure that will inspire others. For this reason, once registered, you will become the protagonists of the 2026 Crews Page. The world needs Dreamers and positive examples.

The Nordkapp Classic Raid crews will be featured on the Crews Page with a dedicated graphic profile for each team. This profile will include the crew members’ photos as well as the logos of up to four sponsors supporting the team. A photo of each participant and his Vespa is mandatory and must be sent, together with any sponsor logos, via email only to: info@raidtribe.com no later than January 31, 2026.

Once registrations are closed, the Crews Page will go online with the full list of all participants of the Nordkapp Classic Raid IV 2026.

Remember: without a photo you will not gain access to the Finisher Title, you will not be listed on the Crews page, and your Badge cannot be published on our social channels.

At the time of registration for the event, the only required information is the personal details of the Pilot (and potential Navigator) and the Vespa’s details (Model, year of production). No other documents are required for registration. If you are unsure about the vehicle that will be used during the event, you can still register by entering “to be communicated later” in the dedicated vehicle fields. Once you have the vehicle details, you can later send an email to the staff at info@raidtribe.com and provide them.

To participate in the event, it is necessary to have and be able to present upon request to the organization:

• VALID IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENTS FOR EVERY COUNTRY TRAVERSED (identity card for European citizens or passport / visa for non-European citizens).
• TRAVEL INSURANCE POLICY (covering medical expenses and repatriation)

VALID IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENTS FOR EVERY COUNTRY TRAVERSED BY THE EVENT.

It is the sole responsibility of the participant to possess the necessary documents to access the various countries traversed by the event.

For European citizens, only an identity card is required, while for non-European citizens, a passport with or without a visa is required. We therefore invite you to contact your consular representations to obtain updated information on this matter.

TRAVEL INSURANCE FOR MEDICAL EXPENSES AND REPATRIATION.

It is mandatory to have personal health insurance that covers potential hospital expenses and repatriation, valid for the entire duration of the Nordkapp Classic Raid event, covering all countries traversed.

It is the sole responsibility of the participant to possess this documentation, in addition to any other legally required documents for driving on open roads, such as a driver’s license, vehicle insurance, tax, and any other mandatory legal documentation.

If we asked you to reach Nordkapp on a modern BMW GS or another Gran Turismo motorcycle, believe us, what would remain as a gift for the years to come would be just the memory of a beautiful journey. Of course, immersed in dream landscapes, but always and only a simple journey.

At the Nordkapp Classic Raid we celebrate the Adventure and aim for the concrete improvement of your life. To do this we need to make you experience a truly Special Story.

For this reason you will cover an epic distance, with ever-changing conditions, on one of the most legendary vehicles in the history of man: His Majesty the Vespa.

Whether you participate as a single crew or as a couple you can take part in the event with:

Piaggio Vespa models.

Based on the production year of your Vespa, you will participate in one of the following 4 Dedicated Categories:

Super Classic – Vespas produced until 1985
Classic – Vespas produced until 2000
Modern Classic – Vespas produced until 2015
Modern – Vespas produced after 2015

Since the event is a non-competitive Adventure and not a race, the organizer is exempt from checking the departing vehicles to verify their compliance with the factory documents. It is therefore always the exclusive responsibility of the participating crew to respond to possible checks by the police, for non-compliant / elaborate / modified vehicles that do not meet the safety criteria of the highway code.

In the Nordkapp Classic Raid you can participate as a crew of two, but only one of the two will be able to drive. It is not allowed to alternate driving the vehicle, which is why, during the registration process for the event, you will have to indicate the name of the Pilot and that of the Navigator.

The Nordkapp Classic Raid is a NON-COMPETITIVE Ultra Distance Vespa Raid that takes place on roads open to traffic. The crews are required to be extremely careful and to comply with the rules of the road. This is an event to be faced with a sense of responsibility, awareness and desire to have fun.

Non-EU participants can request the invitation letter to the event staff by 15 February 2026, only by email (info@raidtribe.com), providing:

Copy of the passport
Name / surname / nationality
Period of stay in the EU (from – to)
Type of visa required: usually tourist

The preparation of the invitation letter requires the Staff, from the moment of your request, about a month’s time and will be sent to you by email once ready. Therefore, we recommend foreign participants who are required to have a visa to enter the EU to request the letter immediately after registration in order to activate the procedure for applying for a visa well in advance. Consider that if you apply for a visa with a reduced margin of time, you will be unable, if there is a problem, to resolve it with the Italian representation abroad.

Detailed information about the event, the starting location, the schedule, and everything needed to fully experience the Nordkapp Classic Raid is reserved exclusively for registered teams and will be provided through a complete Digital Guide, sent by email to the registered riders approximately 60 days before the event (around mid-April 2026).

Approximately by February 2026, and prior to the Digital Guide being sent, all registered teams will receive another set of content covering various practical information, suggested schedules, and recommended stages.

These important details are designed to help the teams organize and manage the adventure in the best possible way.

Detailed information about the event, including the starting location, schedule, and everything you need to fully experience the Nordkapp Classic Raid, is reserved for registered crews and will be provided via a comprehensive Digital Guide sent by email to registered pilots approximately 60 days before the event (around mid-April 2025).

Typically, by February 2025 and before sending the Digital Guide, another content related to various practical information is sent to all registered crews. These important details can assist crews in organizing and managing their adventure effectively.

Preparing a track of over 4000 km by choosing the best and safest roads in Europe is a huge commitment and work that we take extremely seriously. It requires months of work, high costs and many site inspections. Given this commitment, we are therefore willing to take on this responsibility only for our participating crews.

We therefore remind you that the track of the event is STRICTLY RESERVED for participants only, disclosure or sharing on the internet is NOT ALLOWED, for any reason and in any platform, be it a travel forum or a group of  Vespa travel enthusiasts. The GPX files of the route are sent individually to each crew and are always identified by a unique code. This means that in the unfortunate event that we find our track available to people NOT participating in the event, we will be able to figure out who released the track.

Sharing the track constitutes a violation of the event rules and as such, the affected participant will be stripped of any Finisher Qualification, prevented from taking part in our events in the future and if disclosure occurred during the event the participant will lose the right to use the accessory vehicle transport service from the North Cape.

For the same reason, if during the event our service cars should find a participant along with NON-participants on the route, the organization, also in this case, following discussions with the participant concerned, will be able to take the necessary measures .

At Nordkapp Classic Raid safety comes first. 

In the 2025 Edition III the route is provided by the organization and is the same for all crews, this with a dual purpose:

1) Allow maximum sharing, among the participants, of what is a unique and unrepeatable experience, making everyone go through the same path and thus increasing the possibilities for interaction and support between the participants

2) Allowing you to discover some of the most enchanting roads and corners of Europe that we have traced, while at the same time limiting the risks associated with traveling on roads that are not suitable for motorcycles / small engine size scooters.

With on-site inspections and through cartographic research we have in fact privileged scenic and secondary roads to avoid heavy traffic and dangerous conditions.

It is undeniable however, even with all our attention and scrupulousness, that we cannot foresee in any way the conditions that you will find on the street at the time of the event, so here are some rules for interpreting the trace that has been provided to you:

LEAVING THE TRACK FOR SAFETY REASONS

At any time and for any reason related to your safety, traffic and road conditions, and therefore including road works, detours and any other imponderable situation that you may find yourself facing along the track that we have provided you, you are free, at your discretion, to leave the track and to resume it as soon as the conditions found have ceased and your safety is once again guaranteed.

You can therefore deviate from the track at any time and then resume it as soon as possible later, using alternative roads at your discretion, if conditions require it. In any case, the organization will always be able to verify your route and your position, therefore temporary deviations are allowed for the reasons mentioned above, but for the purposes of fairness and loyalty, no obvious and unreasonable cuts to the path that was provided to you.

LEAVING THE TRACK FOR DIFFERENT REASONS

Of course, you can also leave the track to reach a hotel, a restaurant or visit a place near the route, but in this case you will have to re-enter the track exactly at the point where you left it.

Remember that the Nordkapp Classic Raid is an Adventure in complete autonomy and it is always your responsibility to study the route we have prepared, aware of the fact that if the conditions you will find at the time of the event are different from what was expected, for whatever reason, you will have always the right to choose another route and to resume the track as soon as possible.

The .gpx file that we send by email to the crews or that you find already loaded on the WHIP app is the result of dozens of hours of work spent on the maps and physically spent on the territory, with the aim of choosing only the most beautiful roads for you and safe as possible. The fixed route provided by the organization is the added value of RaidTribe events.

Receiving a carefully studied route that you will only have to follow is completely different from inserting a location independently on any navigator. In fact, if you ask a navigator to take you to a specific place, it is the navigator who decides the road, not you.

Navigators don’t take into account the purpose of your trip or whether a scenic route is preferable to the shortest one, they don’t take into account traffic flows and in general, trust us, a million other things. Basically, when you tell the navigator “take me there”, you put yourself in his hands, without knowing in detail the route you will be asked to take.

In RaidTribe events the goal is Fun and this means not only covering the distance between the starting point of the event and its arrival, but doing it in the most spectacular and safest way possible, using only the most beautiful and safest roads , precisely chosen by our staff thanks to the numerous inspections on the territory and cartographic research.

This is exactly the reason why we don’t limit ourselves to simply telling you to go from A to B, (for this a simple navigator would be enough) as happens in many adventure raid in which, using the excuse of total autonomy, the staff does not take on the task of plotting the best possible route, but instead provide you with a file that will take you, curve after curve, until the completion of the challenge. It will be sufficient to load the file on your GPS or on Google Maps and you will be able to follow it without problems, but with a road chosen and traced by people who have been involved in adventure for over 20 years and with the aim of making you live a unique experience, not by an algorithm.

During the Nordkapp Classic Raid :

– You will broadcast your position live on the live map of the event (https://raidtribe.com/en/live-nordkappclassicraid-raidtribe)  – activated a few hours before the event and followed by friends, family and thousands of enthusiasts from home.

– You will follow the Fabulous Route provided by the organization

To TRANSMIT your location:

About a week before the event we will send you an activation link via email (to the email you provided when registering for the event / check that the email did not end up in the SPAM box !) as an accredited Pilot and by following the instructions provided you will activate your profile on the app.

Once you have created your profile on the app thanks to the activation link you will find the “Nordkapp Classic Raid” event. Register for the event on the app and from the moment the event starts, from 8 am on Saturday 14 June 2025, your phone, without you having to do anything else, will automatically transmit your position to the live map. Tracking costs are fully covered by the organization.

To FOLLOW THE ROUTE provided you have many alternatives, at your complete discretion (some of them):

1) CARTOGRAPHIC GPS

GPS is the ideal tool when it comes to adventure and it is what we recommend you use for the Nordkapp Classic Raid. If you want to enjoy the navigation experience to the fullest without depending on the 4G network or excessive battery consumption, not to mention the robustness of the GPS compared to the smartphone, equip yourself with Cartographic GPS. With the GPS you can load the route file directly on the device and have it always available.

The advantages of GPS:

– does not use the cellular network and data but always connects directly to the satellites, so you will always find the path to follow available even in the presence of no signal.

– it is often a tropicalized device. Unlike smartphones, it is generally designed to withstand water, wind, dust and shocks.

– it has a much lower energy consumption than a smartphone because the gps essentially does only one thing, while the smartphone uses, often at the same time, dozens of apps that limit battery life.

To upload the event route to the GPS, simply connect the GPS to the computer where you downloaded the track of the route (GPX file). The GPS folder will then appear on the Desktop and once you have identified the file folder inside, just drag the GPX file into the device folder. When the GPS device restarts, you should see the track we sent you and at that point it will be sufficient to select it and follow the route on the map, with navigation that is very similar to classic road navigators.

2 ) FOLLOW THE ROUTE WITH THE WHIP APP

The same satellite App that you will need to install on your phone to broadcast the position live can also be used as a navigator, with convenient voice instructions that will allow you to enjoy the route with greater freedom, without checking your mobile phone screen too often. To use WHIP in navigator mode you will need to activate the PLUS profile.

The PLUS profile is a paid subscription but includes a free trial period (it can only be activated once for free so if you have already activated it in the past, know that by activating the PLUS profile again you will receive an immediate charge, however you can select the 1-month subscription at a cost of only 6 euros, and then cancel without further charges) so you can activate it without any charge and then, at the end of the event, deactivate it immediately, so as not to incur any cost or only 1 month. Deleting the PLUS profile takes 30 seconds.

If you decide to use Whip for navigation and once you have activated the PLUS profile you don’t have to do anything else, you will find the Nordkapp Classic Raid route already loaded on the app, ready to be followed.

3 ) FOLLOW THE ROUTE WITH GOOGLE MAPS

If you have chosen to follow the route using Google Maps you will have to load the track (.gpx file) not on the phone, but by creating a new map starting from MyMaps. No panic, here’s how to do it.

Log in to your Google account (from a pc) and then go to MyMaps:

https://www.google.com/intl/it/maps/about/mymaps/

Click on “Create a New Map”

On the next page choose “IMPORT”:

Then select the gpx file sent by the organization and drag it (or add it from the folder where the file is located) into the following screen:

Once Google Maps has processed the file you will see the map with the entire route at your disposal (blue line):

From now on you will always find it available on your Google Drive (app to download for free on your phone) and you can thus view and follow it whenever you want, simply by clicking on it, with the automatic opening of the Google Maps app (also installed on your phone)

Now all that remains is to have Fun on the most beautiful roads we have chosen for you and if you are wondering how to position the smartphone on the vespa so that you can easily read the route, in point 17 of the faq you will also find the answer to this.

Yes, you can, at any time and at your complete discretion, in these cases:

Reasons related to your safety:

If the conditions you find on the route provided are unsafe for various reasons, from sudden traffic flows, deterioration of the road surface, detours, accidents or other imponderable reasons that you may unexpectedly encounter, you are free to leave the route and re-enter further on, even making cuts if necessary, as soon as the safety conditions on the road have been restored.

Reasons other than security:

If you want to get off the track to visit a place off the track or you want to get to a hotel to spend the night, a restaurant or a mechanical workshop, you can do it without problems, but in this case you have to get back on the track exactly at the point where the you abandoned.

The Nordkapp Classic Raid is not a Race but the most Incredible Adventure that you can experience on the saddle of a Vespa, but given the scope of the Challenge, Fairness and Honesty towards the Riders who share this Raid with you are fundamental so remember, we have few rules but they must be respected.

Whatever the tool with which you will view the route on the screen, you will have to hook your GPS / smartphone to the handlebar of your Vespa / moped.

On the market there are hooks of any kind that can help you travel in a practical and safe way, allowing you to easily read the route. One of the most effective attachments is undoubtedly the one to the rear-view mirror.

You can find different types of hooks simply by searching for “moto gps hooks” or “motorcycle smartphone hooks”.

The meeting with participants on the afternoon of Friday, June 12, 2026 (from 3:30 PM to 6:00 PM) will take place in Arco at:

(details will be provided to participants later)

The start of the Nordkapp Classic Raid IV 2026, at 8:00 AM on Saturday, June 13, 2026 (7:00 AM gathering / 8:00 AM departure), will take place in Arco at:

(details will be provided to participants later)

Here is the exact address with GPS coordinates:

(details will be provided to participants later)

Many participants have written to us asking how to find accommodation during the trip. Here too, as for many other aspects seen previously, we repeat again that today finding different places to stay overnight every night is infinitely simpler than before, and this thanks to the Apps that can be downloaded on the phone, such as Booking / Kayak / Trivago / AirBnb.

These apps easily bring all the accommodation options in a given geographical area to your phone and book any facility in just 1 minute (hotel, B&B, camping, farmhouse, apartment, etc.).

You could do exactly as we have done hundreds of times:

At a certain time of the day, may be around 3-4pm (if you think you want to stop around 5-6pm), you can take the phone and search on Booking by entering, as the geographical area in which to look for accommodation, the country do you plan to reach at the end of the day or when you have decided to stop. (The important thing is that you make a reservation at least 1 hour before your arrival at the facility, this is to let the facility know you’re arriving.)

All you need to do is check the Nordkapp Classic Raid route map, establish a town or city ahead of where you are at that moment and search for the structure you prefer in that point to reach using the booking apps.

We assure you that it DOESN’T take anything else to find a different place to sleep every night. A simple procedure with which we have found accommodation in every part of the world, even in more remote and infinitely less served territories than Europe, which we remind you is one of the most developed, anthropized and served continents in the world.

On these apps you can search for the available facilities sorting them by price, by review, by distance from the point where you are and by a thousand other filters, but it’s all extremely simple and always in your language, so as to avoid misunderstandings or booking problems. All you need is a debit or credit card and you can block the reservation without problems, not to mention that many of these hotel and B&B accept reservations with free cancellation.

If you have never booked accommodation with these apps, immediately download Booking.com on your phone and familiarize yourself with the app. It is important, as with the other aspects of the challenge we told you about above, that you arrive at the departure after having become familiar with all the tools and devices you will use during the trip, and the instant booking apps, we can guarantee you, will be one of the tools you will love most. They guarantee freedom of choice, transparency and above all the possibility of booking with almost no notice, which is essential when you are on an adventure on your own where plans can change from day to day.

In the Nordkapp Classic Raid IV 2026 edition, one overnight ferry and four short crossings of approximately 35 minutes each are planned, all to be booked at the complete discretion of the participating teams:

• Gdansk (Poland) / Nynäshamn (Sweden)
• Drag (Norway) – Kjøpsvik (Norway)
• Botnhamn (Norway) – Brensholmen (Norway)
• Breidvik (Norway) – Svensby Ferjekai (Norway)
• Lingseidet (Norway) – Olderdalen (Norway)

All other sea routes are prohibited.

Fairness and integrity are the cornerstones of every adventure. Participating in the Nordkapp Classic Raid means challenging yourself in a legendary land raid, which involves awareness and acceptance of every aspect of the challenge. This includes independently managing any unforeseen events that may arise along the route to Nordkapp.

During this adventure, you will have the opportunity to share the road with many new friends. Based on the first 2 editions of the event already held, we can tell you with reasonable certainty that together you will develop a strong team spirit capable of facing any unexpected challenges on the route, all united towards the greatest destination on Vespa that you have ever dreamed of.

From these fellow travelers, you can receive help and support if you wish, but it is strictly prohibited, in any form and at the risk of disqualification of the crew/participant, to receive assistance from equipped support vehicles or any other following vehicles.

Whether you reach Nordkapp or drop out along the way, it should only result from the management and strategy you have chosen to adopt during your adventure. But in any case, believe us, if experienced with integrity, it will be a memorable success.

You will be called upon to manage a challenge that will deeply change you, allowing you to experience something that is not possible in everyday life, not even remotely. This includes dealing with unforeseen events and sudden changes in plans. Only in this way, we assure you, will you treasure this experience for the rest of your life.

In cases where the organization confirms violations of the regulations or behaviors that go against the foundational values or the spirit and philosophy of the event, it is free to adopt, after direct communication with the concerned crew and if there is no repentance on their part, various types of penalties up to and including, for the most serious cases, exclusion of the participant from the event.

The participant’s Live Tracking system during the event and the updating of the position of each crew on the LIVEMAP, is provided free of charge by the organization to each participant, for the entire duration of the event. The service will be supplied via satellite app to be downloaded on the phone. 

It is the obligation of the crews to permanently transmit their position, from the departure in Florence to the arrival at the Nordkapp.

The day before the start of the event, the LIVE page will be activated on the event website (https://raidtribe.com/en/live-nordkappclassicraid-raidtribe/), where it will be possible, through an interactive map, to follow the crews from the first meter to the last, with the possibility to see the live position and other useful navigation data and the territories crossed.

It will thus be possible to follow the event and the position of each Team by fans and friends from all over the world, H24.

In RaidTribe events, safety and media coverage, with live transmission of the position of each crew, have always been of fundamental importance.

For this reason, in every event you take part in, there are two aspects that imply, respectively, safety and the sharing of unique and unforgettable experiences.

NAVIGATION
In each RaidTribe event it is the Staff that directly provides you, through a GPX file and after a careful study of the maps and in the territories, the complete route to follow. Whether it’s a 300 km or 4000 km route, we’ll take care of it. To follow the route (track) use a GPS or a smartphone + app, completely at your discretion.

LIVE TRACKING
By Live Tracking we mean the transmission of the position live, and for the entire duration of the event, on the map that is activated on the RaidTribe website and which allows friends, relatives and Adventure enthusiasts from all over the world to follow your crew. For this purpose, you will be provided, free of charge on loan for free use, with a satellite device that you will always keep on, from departure to arrival, to transmit the position on the live map. Alternatively, at the discretion of the organization, a satellite app may be used.

Today there is a difference from the past, there are powerful power banks and various charging sources that can make the devices last for a long time during the long lasting adventures like the NordKapp Classic Raid.

Before the start of the event, the Staff will check that each departing Vespa has the lighting system in perfect working order, furthermore each crew must be in possession of a reflective jacket and helmet for each member of the crew.

In the Nordkapp Classic Raid, you are required to pass through 5 mandatory Checkpoints along the route. Checkpoints are intermediate control points where each participant must perform a validation action.
To reach each Checkpoint, simply follow the route provided by the organization (the checkpoints are marked in the GPX file with a small flag).

For Nordkapp Classic Raid IV 2026, the following Checkpoints will be active:

• C1 Munich (details on location / hours / contacts to follow)
• C2 Berlin (details on location / hours / contacts to follow)
• C3 Sundsvall (details on location / hours / contacts to follow)
• C4 Norwegian Fjords National Park (details on location / hours / contacts to follow)
• C5 Tromsø (details on location / hours / contacts to follow)

To perform the mandatory validation action, which is possible 24/7, you can, at your discretion:

• Visit the Checkpoint during opening hours. During these times, Checkpoint staff will be present, and validation will be performed by stamping your CDP (Carnet De Passage) with the official Checkpoint stamp.
• Visit the Checkpoint outside opening hours. Staff will not be present, and you will not receive a stamp. In this case, your validation will be verified by the organization via satellite, based on your passage directly in front of the Checkpoint.

The Nordkapp Classic Raid III provides for the physical presence of the Staff on the field up to the North Cape. We are talking about covering the whole of Europe round trip with fully equipped vehicles following the event, nevertheless it is easily understandable how, in an event of this magnitude, it is very difficult, due to the distances faced daily by Crews and Staff, even with huge resources and means, ensure that all participants are present in the photos and videos of the Event.

The quality and the extraordinary number of media content that will be produced by the live event production is usually present in rally events with 20 times the budget but we assure you, based on our experience of over 20 years in adventure media production , that we will make you the protagonists and center stage of an unparalleled enterprise.

We therefore ask for the kindness to understand that we cannot guarantee that all the Pilots will be present in the photos and videos of the event, some will be more present and others unfortunately less, but only for pure logistical reasons and for the enormous distances that distinguish the Event. Your Stories, for us, are all incredible and we will do everything to tell, through interviews, videos and contributions made with the utmost care and quality, what it means to participate in such an event and what are the emotions you feel along the way .

Having said that, if the decision to participate or not in the Nordkapp Classic Raid, for you, depends on the certainty of being present in the videos and/or photos, do not register, because, for the reasons explained above, we cannot guarantee everyone the same coverage.

Remember that the Nordkapp Classic Raid experience will remain unique and indelible, regardless of whether or not you have been immortalized in the videos, which, although beautiful, are only the outline of an Adventure that for the majority of people happens only once in a lifetime , when it happens.

Live the event with serenity and fun, with the sole purpose of taking an extraordinary, incredible break from your daily life, and we guarantee you that you will treasure an experience that will profoundly change the vision of your life and the priorities of the whole your world.

To see the videos, photos and live interviews created by the Staff during each edition, you can follow the Facebook page, the website and the YouTube channel.

Participants in the event will be sent detailed information on the Lapland and Arctic section of the route (last 700 km from Rovaniemi to Nordkapp), with details of the services available, progressive kilometers and any other useful information.

Participants in the event will be sent information and useful advice regarding the most suitable equipment to participate in the Nordkapp Classic Raid.

Participants in the event will be sent detailed information on the mechanical assistance points available along or near the route, as well as the European Vespa Clubs.

Participants in the event will be sent detailed information on the island of Mageroya, with details of the services available in the towns of the island, complete with any other useful information.

Participants in the event will be sent detailed information on the island of Mageroya, with details of the services available in the towns of the island, complete with any other useful information.

The Nordkapp Visitor Center is open from 11:00 AM to 1:00 AM (from May 18 to August 31). It features shops, 2 restaurants, 1 café, and an area dedicated to documentaries and the natural heritage of Nordkapp.

TOGETHER IS MORE BEAUTIFUL
TRIUMPHAL VESPA PARADE AT NORDKAPP

Reaching Nordkapp on a Vespa after an adventure of over 3800 km across 7 countries is an overwhelming moment of emotion that stays in a person’s memory forever. Based on feedback from the first three editions, we can assure you that arriving together in a group, with friends with whom you’ve shared one of the most incredible experiences of your life, makes all the difference. It transforms an already fantastic moment into a memory you’ll hold onto strongly for the rest of your life.
In simple terms: the group arrival, riding together with your fellow adventurers along the last incredible 30 km of Magerøya Island toward Nordkapp, is infinitely more exciting.

For this reason, in Edition IV 2026, arrival at Nordkapp is exclusively in a group with your fellow riders on June 26, during the Triumphal Parade.

Triumphal Parade – June 26, 2026 – Meeting point in Honningsvåg (approx. 30 km from Nordkapp)

The RaidTribe staff will meet you in Honningsvåg and escort you to Nordkapp, allowing you, together with hundreds of your fellow adventurers, to immortalize one of the most emotional moments of your life.

The Nordkapp Classic Raid is designed to offer everyone the extraordinary opportunity to experience a legendary overland raid—a pure expression of freedom and riding pleasure. Once you respect the minimum departure times at each checkpoint and the scheduled arrival date at Nordkapp (June 26, 2026), you are completely free to manage your daily distances and stages as you wish.

To earn the Finisher Certificate for Edition IV 2026, you must complete the route, arriving at Nordkapp on June 26, 2026 (+14 days from departure). Arriving earlier or later than this date will result in your ride not being officially registered.

In addition to the Nordkapp arrival date, you must also respect the minimum departure times at the 5 checkpoints along the route. These minimum times, communicated later to participants, were introduced from Edition II 2024 to enhance shared experiences and ensure the highest level of safety for all crews.

Kilometers Required for Finisher Qualification – Edition IV 2026
The Edition IV 2026 route covers approximately 3,800 km across 7 countries over 14 days. To achieve the Finisher qualification, an average of only 270 km per day is required (in previous editions, 320 km/day were needed).

At an average speed of 45 km/h, this corresponds to roughly 6 hours in the saddle per day. Considering that in Scandinavia you will enjoy 24 hours of daylight, these are moderate distances—entirely achievable for all participants—and allow you to fully savor the landscapes like never before.

We have prepared an Extraordinary Adventure for you—enjoy every moment.

Participants in the event will be sent detailed information on the Finisher registration procedure in Nordkapp.

Participants in the event will be sent detailed information on the Nordkapp Classic Raid Staff present at the Nordkapp visitor center.

We understand that leaving your Vespa at Nordkapp will be difficult, especially after it has carried you to the top of the world. However, not everyone has the time, energy, or resources for the return journey on their own. We also want to assure you that while the idea of riding back on your Vespa may seem romantic now, after a 4,000 km journey, it might not feel that way anymore. This is why 99% of participants in all previous editions have chosen to have their Vespa transported home once the event is completed.

To make the Nordkapp Classic Raid experience convenient and worry-free, we have therefore paired the event with an optional transportation service, which can be booked until the end of february 2026.

BEWARE OF IMPROVISED SERVICE OFFERS

During the last Edition III, a person without any credentials, authorization, or connection to the event contacted participants, offering improvised transportation services without any credentials. These unverified services carry significant risks, such as loss or damage to the Vespa, customs issues, lack of assistance, and delays. In the worst-case scenario, they can be a cover for fraud and deception.

RaidTribe, through the transportation services associated with the event found on this website, offers only tested and reliable services that perform flawlessly year after year, guaranteeing:

• Vehicle safety and care
• Handling of customs and insurance formalities
• Proven experience: hundreds of Vespas successfully transported in previous editions

OUR ADVICE: Use the event’s transportation services to ensure the success of your adventure and avoid any risks. Organizing transportation for hundreds of Vespas on an international and non-EU route, such as the one covered by the event, is an extraordinarily complex task that can only be handled by logistics professionals. It requires reliability, professionalism, and diligence.

Remember, however, that the event officially ends at Nordkapp. The Vespa transportation service is an optional convenience, offered at advantageous conditions, allowing you to enjoy your well-deserved success without logistical worries, but you are free to organize your own itinerary.

The cost of the return transport service for vehicles INCLUDES, at no additional charge, a secured vehicle storage at North Cape (Alta), which only participants who have booked the transport can use from June 27 to June 29, 2026. This allows you to leave your vehicle in custody with full insurance coverage, even before the official transport start date (June 29, 2026).

The vehicle storage at North Cape is reserved exclusively for those registered for the return transport service, without exceptions.

In Edition IV 2026, each participant can choose, at their discretion and by booking before the end of March 2026, to have their Vespa transported directly from home to the pickup point in Rovereto, located about 20 km from the Arco starting point. This pre-departure service allows participants to collect their Vespa conveniently near the event’s starting location.

Estimated costs FROM ITALY:

• Central/Northern Italy → Rovereto: €219 VAT included
• Southern Italy (Campania, Basilicata, Molise, Puglia, Calabria) → Rovereto: €239 VAT included
• Sicily → Rovereto: €259 VAT included
• Sardinia → Rovereto: €369 VAT included

Notes:
These are estimates; the exact price will be determined in March 2026. This service is available to all registered participants, regardless of whether they book the return transport of their Vespa from Nordkapp.

In Edition IV 2026, a breakdown recovery service will be available at the end of the event. This service does not require any prior reservation or advance payment (payment is due only if the service is requested during the event, directly to our transport partner).

This service allows you to approach the journey with greater peace of mind, knowing that in the event of a total breakdown of your vehicle at any point along the route, one of our Partners will recover your vehicle after the event and deliver it directly to your home or to the Affi collection point.

The breakdown recovery service is available to all participants, regardless of whether they have booked the main return transport from Nordkapp. No prior reservation is required, and payment is only due if the participant requests activation. The service is available for the entire length of the route.

Estimated Service Costs:

• For participants who have booked the Nordkapp return transport: approximately €230, VAT included.
• For participants who have not booked any transport service: to be calculated upon request, starting from €1,500, VAT included.

Additional Note:
To ensure your vehicle can be returned home in case of breakdowns anywhere in Europe, you can take out additional coverage on your motor insurance policy (RCA) or contact ACI, which may include a vehicle repatriation service. If you are a member of a Vespa Club, consult your Club for guidance.

By the end of February 2026, we will send all participants a questionnaire to indicate whether or not they wish to use the available vehicle transport services.

Filling out this form is MANDATORY and must be completed by all registered teams, whether you choose to book one or more transport services or decide not to use them.

Once we have received your form, and if you choose to use one or more transport services, you will receive an email with the amount to pay, payment methods, and the necessary documents.
Payment must be made without exception by March, 9, 2026.

Without payment, no reservation will be accepted, and it will no longer be possible to make one afterwards.

WARNING: NO LAST-MINUTE REQUESTS AT NORDKAPP

ADVICE: Carefully consider whether to forgo the Vespa transport service for the return trip. We can assure you that once you reach Nordkapp, after a journey of over 4,000 km, the idea of having to ride back home on your Vespa—even if it seems romantic now—may no longer feel that way.

To avoid misunderstandings, we want to be clear: no transport requests made at Nordkapp, outside of bookings already collected and paid for by April 2026, will be accepted.

There are two main reasons:

• The RaidTribe staff at Nordkapp is there to manage team arrivals and registration and, even if they wanted to, cannot handle a last-minute transport request for such a complex service as international shipping (vehicle chassis numbers must be communicated to Norwegian customs along with a series of non-EU customs procedures months in advance).
• It would be unfair to participants who booked and paid for the service months before the event.

The Vespa return transport service from Nordkapp is an optional service in addition to event registration and is provided by various specialized external partners collaborating with the organization.

RaidTribe is not responsible for the service or any damage that may result from it. Its role is limited to offering participating teams a preferential rate and managing all necessary planning, including booking coordination for departing teams and handling all formalities required for transport.

Event registration validity is not linked to the transport service provided by our partners.

In the event that, due to extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances, a transport service already booked is canceled by our logistics partners, the event may be canceled. In such a case, the amount paid for transport will be promptly refunded, while the event registration fee will not be refunded and will remain valid for the next edition

The world of overland Raids is highly subjective: comfort, style, and choice of vehicles all affect the final costs. To help estimate the total expense, we have defined two participant profiles:

• “Tough & Pure” – adventure in its most essential form
• “Adventure, yes, but in style” – a balance of road and comfort

Adventure will save the world!

The NordKapp Classic Raid was born with a specific purpose: to make people’s lives better and happier by allowing them, through the most coveted and dreamed of Vespa Raid ever, to share a magnificent experience with hundreds of other dreamers riding a Vespa, all united in search of strong emotions and against the torpor that now accompanies the modern world and unfortunately many of our lives.

It is time to turn around and take back control, as wrote the author of the book “Titanic. A different ending “.

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 shake one’s life in an incredibly powerful and positive way.

So please, 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 to your lineage, so even if we understand that preparation can bring with it a certain amount of apprehension, approach the event in all its aspects with happiness and joy of being there, after all .. you are here for this.

Participating in the NordKapp Classic Raid means giving yourself and your life a gift of unique value, as long as you are conscious and aware that you are taking part in an UltraDistance Vespa Raid in complete autonomy.

The Adventure, by its very nature and definition, requires flexibility, a spirit of adaptation and the ability to read the conditions in the field. Despite the maniacal care and scruple that we place in preparing for this event, it is physically impossible to predict the real conditions you will find on the pitch from the moment of departure. 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 unforeseen and extraordinary circumstances that you may find in the field, at the NordKapp Classic Raid 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 one of the Greatest Experiences of Your Life.

Preparing an Adventure independently, from A to Z, requires months of time and careful filtering of the sources from which the information is taken. From navigation to technical aspects, from equipment to logistics, there are many things to plan.

Aware, however, that not everyone has the time and skills necessary to plan adventures of this type and wanting to bring as many people as possible to the world of Vespa and moped raids, we have studied a series of adventures with a fixed and carefully planned route, accompanied by fundamental information that is the result of our twenty years of experience in over 100 countries around the world. Indeed, having a path to follow relieves you of months of study and planning, although it is your responsibility to check it carefully. But in addition to the path and perhaps even more fundamental, the participants will be provided with practical information of all kinds that otherwise, in the case of adventures done independently, you would have had to find and filter from hundreds of sources, mostly untestable.

Logistical information, on the recommended equipment to face the challenge, on how to follow the track with the GPS or smartphone. As well as the services available along the track, the roadmap, the workshops, the repair centers, the Vespa Clubs. To get to the return transport service and the connections to return home by plane. With over 20 years of experience in the world of adventure, our events allow everyone to experience extraordinary Adventures that really change people’s lives.

The RaidTribe Adventures take place on the most served and safest continent in the world, Europe. For this reason, you will presumably always be able to receive help within a few kilometers, to resolve any unforeseen events and program changes that may arise along the way, elements that have always been at the basis of the very concept of Adventure.
