We are now in the second half of February, and a large majority of the 2025/2026 Ski Classics Challengers events have already been completed across Europe, Asia, and North America.

Many skiers may already have secured the qualification for the Ski Classics Grand Finale Summit 2 Senja, without even realizing it.

Now is the time to check.

To qualify via Ski Classics Challengers, you need:

• At least two Ski Classics Challengers
• To finish within 50% of the winner’s time in each race

Qualification via Pro Tour Events

You can also qualify through Ski Classics Pro Tour events; these four remain:

• Vasaloppet
• Birkebeinerrennet
• Marcialonga Bodø – register here!
• Reistadløpet – Please note! This event is the day before Grand Finale Summit 2 Senja.

If you complete one of these events, you are qualified if you finish within 50% of the winner’s time.

But with so many events already completed, the key message is simple: You may already be qualified.
