Demino Skimarathon ready to take place in-person and virtually
Coming weekend 3 Worldloppet races are waiting for us. The Swedish Vasaloppet will take place as elite event, the Polish Bieg Piastow will finish it’s individual race period and the Russian Demino Skimarathon will take place both, in-person in Demino and as virtual event.
On Saturday 6th March, the Russian Worldloppet race, Demino Skimarathon is going to take place as planned. The participants – almost all from Russia – are going to ski either 50km or 25km freestyle.

For all who are not able to travel to Demino, the organizers offer a virtual edition, available between 5th and 21st March. This virtual race is part of the Virtual Racing League and hence another chance to finish 7 virtual events to become a Virtual Racer.
