Anyone can become a Birkebeiner!

Birken is based on a long and proud tradition, inspired by Norway's historical fairy tales. It all started with the Birkebeinerrennet of 54 km, and in the years that have followed, more distances have been added to provide something for everyone. Participating in the Birkebeinerrennet is a historic experience – with a backpack of 3.5 kg and an 800-year-old legend of the Kingdom of Norway on your shoulders. SkiBirken offers different distances, whether you are looking for competition, exercise, hiking or an experience with or without timing.
