Kongsvingerrittet is a 98 km road cycling race that starts from Kongsvinger, Norway, and takes place on Ascension Day. Innlandet Bedriftsidrettskrets is the organizer. The field for this particular edition was small and competitive, with 27 riders finishing the entire course.
The route leads from Kongsvinger around Skasen, passes through Kirkenær, and then heads south along the western bank of the Glomma river. It is characterized as straightforward and suitable for road racing, not a technical challenge. The winners in both the women's and men's categories received prizes fitting for the weather: wool buffs and wool socks.
