At the NordKapp Classic Raid you are free to arrive at the North Cape at any time; however, remember that if you arrive at night you will not find the RaidTribe Staff and you will have to stay outside the Visitor Center until opening time from 06:30 am, in fact there are no accommodation facilities in the North Cape, with the exception of free camping with your own tent, which is always possible.  For the night arrivals the time of finish will be recorded automatically by the tracking system and you will meet the RaidTribe Staff, to get the stamp and the certificate, in the morning. The RaidTribe Staff will be present at the visitor centre for all the duration of window registration time from june 13 to june 16, every day, from 8.30 am to 1 am.
If you arrive at night (after 1 am and before 9 am) and you are within the 12 day time limit, your registration as a Finisher will take place the next morning and we will consider your last GPS tracking valid for the departure time. arrival at destination.
Tip: Once you arrive in Honningsvag (30 km from Caponord), take stock of the situation and keep in mind, if you arrive in Honningsvag in the evening, that in the North Cape there are no accommodations to stay overnight, so consider, even in the light of the your psychophysical conditions, whether it is the case to arrive at night or, after a few hours of rest in Honningsvag, conquer Caponord in the light of day.
The choice is yours, but always remember that you are in the Arctic Circle and the weather, in Nordkapp, can change at any moment, as can the temperatures.
If you are feeling excessively tired it could be hard to spend a night outdoors.
