Change In The Start Time

According to a press release, the Race Jury for Flyktningerennet has decided to postpone the start of Sunday’s 44km race until 12:00 CET. 

The change is due to low temperatures on Sunday morning. The cold is expected to be even lower than the weather forecast. 

Flyktningerennet – Ski Classics Challengers

Flyktningerennet is a long-distance skiing race in classic technique held annually, with a history going back to 1950 when the first race, also called Flyktningloppet in Sweden, took place to honor and remember the refugees escaping across the border from Norway to Sweden during World War II.

The 44km long-distance race in classic technique stretches from Nordli, Norway, to Gäddede, Sweden, and is part of the Ski Classics Challengers series. 

According to the Local Organizing Committee, the 71st edition of the Flyktningerennet is ready to take place this weekend and promises to be an exciting event, with some of the best Pro Tour skiers on the starting line.
