The Norseman Xtreme Triathlon in Norway is legendary for its gruelling course and stunning natural scenery.

Known as one of the toughest triathlons in the world, the Norseman challenges even the most seasoned athletes.
Sportstiks provided the event with racking labels, temporary tattoos, tri-sets, and wristbands, which not only helped athletes stay identifiable but also added a pop of colour and style to the event.
