American Birkebeiner

The greatest show on snow!  We’re looking forward to Birkie Week 2022 with excitement as we return to a traditional American Birkebeiner (Saturday), Kortelopet (Friday), and Prince Haakon (Friday) experience.  NEW IN 2022:  there will be a more relaxed open-track version of the American Birkebeiner, Kortelopet, and Prince Haakon on Wednesday of Birkie Week.  All skiers will make their way through the forest on the Birkie Trail, glide across Lake Hayward, cross over the American Birkebeiner International Bridge and head toward the finish line on Hayward’s snow-covered Main Street.  U20 aged participants (under age 20 on race day) for the Kortelopet and Prince Haakon will receive their discount at check-out.
