The day’s only Climb checkpoint started with about 41km to go with Ebba Andersson and Astrid Øyre Slind showing their diagonal striding strength, getting a considerable gap and disintegrating the main field. The first chasing group was already 46 seconds back with 36km to go.

Astrid and Ebba kept a high pace after the Climb and into some rolling stretches. Heading to the final part of the race and over challenging terrain, no one could close the gap.

At the Kampenhytta checkpoint, 21km into the race, Ebba Andersson crossed first, followed by Astrid Øyre Slind, 0.9 seconds behind, and Emilie Fleten, 2:48.5 back. At Halvor Hill, 30.5km into the race, the duo was still strong and had a gap of 3:42.5 over Silje and 3:43.1 over Emilie. Anikken crossed the checkpoint in 7^th place, 5:40.3 behind the leaders.
