Varanger Arctic Kite Enduro (VAKE) is an annual long distance snow kite competition. It starts in Berlevåg, ends in Vardø and lasts for four days. Teams of two contestants kite ski from Berlevåg across the Varanger Peninsula to Vardø. Varanger Peninsula has a varied and exciting terrain that creates abrupt changes in wind, weather and snow conditions along the route. The teams navigate freely between mandatory checkpoints, must be self sufficient and carry all equipment to survive in the wild for at least five days. The route is about 200 kilometers, but the actual sailing distance can be twice as long due to wind direction and terrain conditions.
