by Arne Zlöbl – First 7 km cross-country skiing My brother Tristan, a former elite skier, motivated me, a former footballplayer, to join him to the Jizerska 50 in Czech Republic. As I am open-minded for every adventure and I have had heard about super cheap and delicious Czech beer I quickly was on board.…
by Ken Hundert, Birchlegger, Toronto, Canada – The night before Birkie 2000, I was on my way to Lakewoods Restaurant for pasta and pasta, with water and water and water.

By Andrzej Gałaś (start number 918) – I have been taking part in the Bieg Piastów since 1994, usually the main distance of 50 km, this year at 42 km. It seemed to me that I was well prepared and expected to get less than 4 hours during the Saturday race (February 29). My well-waxing…
Last week came the news that Kangaroo Hoppet could not take place in the current season, but the Organizing Committee didn’t waste time and proposed a valid alternative, what they call the “Hoppet 2020 – Do It Your Way”. But, what is it about? Registering to the event (for a simbolic 10$ fee), each athlete…
by Torbjörn Jonsson – I started my cross-country skiing career with the Vasaloppet (11 times), continued with the Jizerská Padesatka, Marcialonga, Engadin Skimarathon, Birkebeinerrennet and Vasaloppet China 2020!Over the years have I found out that participating and having a good experience is more important than chasing a good time.

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…
The Tartu Rattaralli will take place “from your home” from May 29th to June 14th It seems pretty clear by now: nothing is stopping events, neither social distancing – events just get reinvented and assume a shape that permits them to bring people together. This is especially the case of the Tartu Marathon summer events.…
by Stanislaw Grabowski, Worldloppet Master nr 1844 – Winter 1995/96: we have been travelling from Cracow to Tartu by train. In Estonia we were welcomed by a harsh frost, but after finding our rooms, we went directly to warm up already on the skis. During the following days in the morning temperature was minus 32…
