About us

Randonneurs.no is the official website of the Randonneurs Norway (RN). «The Norwegian Randonneurs». The RN was founded on the 18th of October 2017. The RN is part of an international fellowship of randonneurs. 

Brevets (or Randonnées or Audax-rides) are offered throughout the World. The brevets offered in Norway are homologated by the Audax Club Parisien (ACP) and our brevets are organized according to the rules and restrictions of the ACP.

This means that all of our brevets can be used as qualification to Paris-Brest-Paris or as part of a Randonneur 5000 or Randonneur 10000 award.

At the moment there are 5 locations organizing Brevets/Audax rides in Norway:

• Bergen: (200km BRM, 300km BRM, 400km BRM and 600km BRM)
• Stavanger: (200km BRM, 300km BRM, 400km BRM, 600km BRM and 1000km BRM
• Kristiansand: (200km BRM, 300km BRM, 400km BRM, 600km BRM, 1000km BRM and The Christianssands 1200)

• Trondheim: (200km BRM, 300km BRM, 400km BRM and 600km BRM)

All of these Brevets are, or will be, described on this website. The description of each Brevet will contain a description of the route, a table containing checkpoints, distances and opening-/closing hours of each checkpoint. There are also zoomable maps and heightprofiles of the Brevets. Gps-files can be downloaded from the maps. Please see our main page and «Brevet» in the top menu.

To get in touch with a local organizer, please send us an email, see the general information under each location or use our Calendar to make an entry to a Brevet.

We do also organize The Jotunheimen Super Randonnee, a permanent ride among the mountains of Norway. The ride is 600-and-a-few kilometers, containing 10700 height meters and it must be completed within 60 hours if you choose to ride it as a Randonneur. Please see «Ritt» in the top menu of this website and then choose «Jotunheimen Super Randonnee».
