The 2024 Arctic Race of Norway has shifted dates for the late-summer ProSeries race to August 4-7, with organisers ASO moving the start of the four-day event just one day following the men’s road race at the Paris Olympic Games. 

Recognised as the world's most northern road race, the Arctic Race of Norway now has a mid-week finish rather than a traditional Sunday finale. The original dates were August 8-11, and now position the race in its earliest August calendar slot across an 11-year history. Last year’s edition of the Norwegian ProSeries stage race was held in the third week of August, the overall won by Stephen Williams (Israel-Premier Tech).
