About 500 skiers have been part of the first real ski marathon in Isafjordur since the beginning of Covid. The weather for the Fossavatnsgangan 2022 was good for Icelandic circumstances: + 1 degrees, no wind and cloudy skies. Snorri Einarsson wins Fossavatnsgangan 2022 Not surprisingly the local hero Snorri Einarsson took the victory in today’s […]
It is time for a great season ender! And in our case, that means, we are travelling to Iceland, to the Fossavatnsgangan, Iceland’s longest running ski marathon. It is going to take place coming weekend, Saturday April 2nd, in Ísafjörður. Since 1935 the skiers of Iceland meet in April – which is end of the […]
Check out the best shots from Worldloppet’s season ender, the Icelandic Fossvatnsgangan in Isafjördur.
The mountains of Isafjördur welcomed the skiers of Fossavatnsgangan 2022 with real Icelandic conditions: Wind, fresh snow, cold. Even more impressive are the performances of the athletes. In total 233 skiers started in wave starts over the 50 km track and all of them have made it to the finish. The fastest among them were […]
My Icelandic running challenge yesterday night: In order to participate in MyFossavatn virtual race, I did a 5km Night City Run through my beloved hometown Graz, in Austria. It was not so easy to not get distracted by all the bars I had to pass… MyFossavatn is the virtual race format of our Icelandic member […]
Well, the pronunciation issues with our Icelandic member race are not getting better. Finally I am able to pronounce “Fossavatnsgangan” fluently (I didn’t even had to check how to spell it anymore), and now our Icelandic member race is coming up with a name, even harder to pronounce. The name for their recently launched virtual […]
by Tristan Zloebl – It was difficult to decide which experience I should tell. So far I have competed in 7 Worldloppet Races and every one is a story for itself. Either it is the “5-Weather-Race” in Iceland together with my dad, or the “broken shoe” race at Czech Republic together with my brother and […]
by Brendon Hyde, Gold Master n.2095 – After skiing the Australian Kangaroo Hoppet for 10 years my first European Worldloppet tour was planned for 2003. I started training along park pathways in the Oz summertime using cross-country roller skis where I gave local kangaroos a bit of a fright since they all quickly hopped away. […]
by Vladislav Kalous – The year 2017 was not easy for me as I had been diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. Luckily, as I was told by my typically cynical doctor: “if you should select a cancer, this is a good one.” There was a clear medication and I went through chemotherapy and radiotherapy for half […]
by Jon K Amundson – We arrived in Iceland with only the minimal website information on this first week of May Ski Marathon in 2014. It is the oldest and largest cross-country ski race in Iceland, dating from 1935 and continuous since 1956. All we knew was that it was 50/25 kilometers in distance, just […]
by Petter Soleng Skinstad – My first visit to Isafjördur and Fossavatn Ski Marathon was in 2014. This was also my first visit to Iceland and a country I had heard so many nice things about. Let’s just say (n)Iceland was even better than we imagined!With me on my trip to Iceland I had a […]
