Description
The start of the race is at 22:00 right in front of the ski hut at Seljalandsdalur. The floodlights will be turned off, so all skiers must bring their own headlamps.
The race is, each individual by himself and you can choose between 70 km or 35 km. [We used to require competitors to race in pairs, but from 2025 this rule does not exist anymore]
Price will be handed out for the first 3 women and first 3 men in both categories 35 km and 70 km The race is freestyle (you can choose whether to skate or us classical style). You´re allow to change style in the race but you can only bring 1 extra par with you. We'll transport extra luggages/skis at the drinking station in the course (see here below)
The competitors are on their own regarding drinks and food. The luggage/skis will be transported from the start to the feeding station in the 7,25 km course. That is a very convenient place to stop, feeding oneself (or change skis if necessary). After the race the luggage/skis will be transported again down to the start/finish area. Please bear with us that you might have to wait a bit after your luggage.
It will be possible to store dry clothes at the Ski Lodge. There we'll offer you a soup/bread/chocolate for all participants.
