Reistadløpet Summit
Ski Classics continues with Season XV in another double Pro Tour event weekend. Reistadløpet on Saturday, April 6, and Summit 2 Senja on Sunday, April 7, mark the 13th and 14th stages of Season XV.

Reistadløpet

On Saturday, April 6, 2024, the Ski Classics Pro Tour weekend starts with Reistadløpet, the season’s 13th event and one of the most demanding courses in the circuit.

The 50km long-distance race starts in Setermoen, in the municipality of Bardu in Norway, and goes through arctic landscapes and mountain tops before reaching the finish line in Bardufoss in the municipality of Målselv.

So far, no one has won the race by only double poling, as most skiers use diagonal striding and kick wax. The course has challenging climbs to the mountains, but the scenery is breathtaking.

Reistadløpet has a long history going back to 1958. The event celebrates a local ski legend: Colonel Ole Reistad, a Norwegian pentathlon champion in 1922 and the ski patrol leader who won Olympic gold in St. Moritz, Switzerland, in 1928.
