Toppidrettsveka kicks off today with a 32km race for women and a 53km race for men, both in classic technique. Many of the top Ski Classics Pro Team athletes and traditional cross-country skiers will be on the starting line. Check here the start lists.

Scheduled to take place from August 22 to 24, 2025, this year’s edition of the Toppidrettsveka offers three days of events for traditional cross-country skiing athletes, long-distance skiers, and activities for children and young people.

Since its inception in 2005, Toppidrettsveka has flourished into one of the World’s largest and most important summer ski competitions. Each year, it attracts a star-studded international field that rivals the stature of a World Cup event. Toppidrettsveka represents a meaningful opportunity for many top-tier athletes to reunite and compete following the World Cup final last winter.

A solid presence of Pro Team athletes and traditional cross-country skiers is confirmed for this year’s edition.
