The Prince Haakon 12K Event:
The American Birkebeiner Board of Directors set a registration cap of 8,400 skiers for the 2011 Birkie and Kortelopet races. A cap of 400 skiers has been established for the Prince Haakon event. In addition, to the cap there is also an overall deadline of January 31, 2011 for the events.
Skier registration will close upon reaching the cap or the deadline whichever comes first. The status of registration for the 2011 event will be reported in the Birkie's Carpe Skiem electronic newsletter as well on the Birkie website.
On the 12K course Skate skiers will use the Birkie Skate trail and Classic skiers will use the Birkie Classic trail for the first 7K. Both routes will then follow a connector trail and join the Kortelopet trail that will be groomed for both skate and classic skiing.
Prince Haakon 12K skiers will then ski with Kortelopet skiers for the next 4K to the final aid station where Haakon 12K skiers will leave the Kortelopet trail and course and ski directly toward the Telemark Resort and Kortelopet finish line for the 12K finish. Refer to the map of course, right hand column of this page.
Prince Haakon Skiers will be bused to the start area using the same bus system as the Birkie/Korte skiers. Click here for more information.
