Where once stars like Michael Schumacher, Keke Rosberg, Jochen Rindt, Niki Lauda, Gerhard Berger, Helmut Marko, and many others took their first rounds in race cars and motorcycles, Ring Frei, a Ski Classics Challengers event on roller skis with 42km for men and 30km for women, both in freestyle technique, takes place at the Salzburgring.

The Local Organizing Committee promises a fun event program with several sports offered to participants and spectators in the narrow alpine valley close to the city of Salzburg.
