Blåvegenløpet history goes back to 1979 and will celebrate its 45th edition in 2023. The course stretches from Umbukta to Klokkerhagen outside Mo I Rana City. Every year since 1979, approximately 1000-1500 skiers are participating in the event.

Blåvegenløpet has three distances, 10km, 15km, 26km and 50km and gathers all from families to professional skiers to one big ski event.

The course follows the Blue road (E12) which connects Norway to Sweden. The start in Umbukta is only 3km from the Swedish border and the finish line just outside the city of Mo I Rana.
