2023 Wave Placement Qualifier Races
All wave placements are subject to wave closures at the time of Wave Upgrade Request submission.
There are no refunds if your request does not result in an upgrade.
*Results are only accepted for upgrades if the race was/is held under NORMAL race conditions: in-person, timed, normal starts, not multi-day, level of competition, etc.
To calculate your wave placement, add the Adjustment Factor to your Percent Back from Event Winner. Go to your American Birkebeiner or Kortelopet event page -> Wave Placement -> Wave Upgrade Requests for detailed instructions and Wave Placement Tables.
Please contact registration@birkie.com with any questions.
