Tour Course
The Birkie Tour will start and finish at the American Birkebeiner Trailhead. You choose the distance you want to enjoy! Venture far or stay close by the Trailhead – you’ll have the option to ski Birkie Skate and Classic trails all the way to the Samuel C. Johnson Family Outdoor Center at the Hwy OO Trailhead and back.
Birkie Tour Ambassadors
The course will be patrolled throughout the day by Birkie Tour Ambassadors. Ambassadors have years of combined Birkie Trail experience and are eager to share their knowledge of the Birkie trails and races. Ambassadors can also help you gain the perfect kick with their waxing expertise. Look for the white Ambassador bibs.
Aid Stations
Your Tour will be supported with Aid Stations along the course at the Timber Trail cabin, Franzen Fire Tower cabin, and Mandli Boedecker Cabin. You’ll end your tour at the American Birkebeiner Trailhead for a meal in the Derksen Family Great Hall.
