Welcome!

While the 47th Slumberland American Birkebeiner, Kortelopet and Prince Haakon races may look differently than they have in past years, the events will be exciting nonetheless! For the safety and protection of all involved, the races have been combined and spread out over five-days. Racing begins on Wednesday, February 24, 2021 and extends through Sunday, February 28, 2021. Skiers pre-selected their race days and will start at the American Birkebeiner Trailhead, Cable, WI, skiing on a looped course, and returning to the adjoining finish line.
