Track profile
- Even the start at Engelbrektsloppet is unique. In the middle of the center of the small town Norberg in central Sweden, all distances of the Engelbrektsloppet are started
- The city center is being converted into a ski arena. The finish line is also directly in Norberg.
- The trails lead out of Norberg in the Swedish forests, on slightly hilly, winding, beautiful cross-country skiing terrain, frequently past beautiful lakes.
- However, individual mountain ranges have to be crossed with one or the other steep ascent. At the Engelbrektsloppet track you will find exactly what a cross-country skier wants
- If necessary, the tracks with three slopes next to each other can be completely covered with artificial snow
Event-Info
- The second largest ski marathon race in Sweden after the Vasaloppet, the Engelbrektsloppet, invites you to experience a traditional Swedish cross-country skiing race.
- In the small, middle Swedish former miner city Norberg (about 6000 inhabitants), about 150 km north of Stockholm, everything revolves around the Engelbrektsloppet in February. The race is named after the freedom fighter "Engelbrecht".
- The start and finish is right in the center of Norberg, which creates a very special atmosphere
- On Friday the Engelbrektswochenende will be opened with a relay race and a sprint.
On Saturday, the ladies are the focus. At the Kristinaloppet over 30 km only women are allowed to go to the start and this is used every year by up to 1000 cross-country skiers. The men can start at 45 km. The main race, the Engelbrektsloppet over 60 km starts on Sunday in two rounds à 30 km. In total, every year 4000 cross-country skiers participate. - The Engelbrektsloppet is also so popular because it is considered as a qualifying race for the starting row classification at the Vasaloppet.
