On Sunday, January 16, is time for the OnePartnerGroup Ski Marathon Östersund. The 42km long-distance skiing Visma Ski Classics Challengers race starts and finishes at Östersund Ski Stadium.

The mass-start event is carried out in classic style and also offers shorter distances like 19km, 10km, and 5km. The longer distances, 42 and 19km are seeding races for Vasaloppet and Tjejvasan.

The Challengers event is planned to start with a master lap of about 3km and thereafter 2 laps on a 19km loop, in a total of 42km.

According to the Organizing Committee, a change in the racecourse and distance might be done, depending on the current snow situation.
