About the Event

Embrace a profound piece of Norwegian history at the 86th Birkebeinerrennet on March 14th, 2026. This legendary 53km cross-country ski race, performed in classic style, retraces the epic winter journey of the Birkebeiner warriors from Rena to Lillehammer. Challenging both recreational skiers and elite athletes, the course traverses three majestic mountain areas, demanding not only endurance but also the symbolic carrying of a mandatory 3.5kg backpack. More than a race, it's a national tradition where the atmosphere on the trail is as unforgettable as the physical achievement. Secure your spot to experience the powerful heritage and pure ski joy of Norway's most iconic winter event.
