The Scandinavian Pump Track Series is the largest pump track competition series in Scandinavia, it started in 2022 and was created to bring together riders of all ages and skill levels. Each season, the series visits a number of venues throughout Scandinavia, creating opportunities for local communities to engage with the sport while attracting participants and spectators from across the Nordic countries.
New for the 2026 season has been the introduction of the Arctic Triple Crown, a unique mini-series consisting of three events north of the Arctic Circle. The races took place in Narvik (Norway), Kiruna (Sweden), and Ylläs (Finland), making it one of the most northern pump track competition series in the world. To claim the Arctic Triple Crown title, riders had to win all three races in their category.
The Arctic Triple Crown came to an end in Ylläs after three successful events in Narvik, Kiruna, and Ylläs. The series showcased exciting racing, strong participation, and some impressive performances from riders throughout the Arctic region. Six riders were crowned Arctic Triple Crown Champions after winning their respective categories at all three events. One of the standout performances came from Love Sylwan, who won the Men 17+ Elite category and set two new track records along the way, becoming the first rider to break the 17-second barrier in Kiruna and the 14-second barrier in Ylläs.
As the series continues throughout the summer, we look forward to welcoming even more riders and visitors to the remaining events and further strengthening the pump track community across Scandinavia.
