Chernousov (RUS) & Roponen (FIN) win Fossavatn 2015!
The Fossavatn Ski Marathon 2015 is now concluding. The weather gods decided to participate in this years race, making things just a little bit harder. Nonetheless this was a great race and the competitors can really be proud of themselves after finishing a tough race.
We should mention that the oldest competitors this year were Gunnlaugur Jonasson from Isafjördur doing the 10 km race and Stigur Stigsson from Isafjördur/Horn doing the 25 km race. Both are born in 1930. Fun fact – this was Stígur’s 31st race – well done!
The board of Fossavatn want to say big thank you to the competitors, but especially all the volunteers that make Fossavatnsgangan possible. We look forward to seeing you in Fossavatn 2016 which will be on Saturday April 30 next year.
