Winter is in full swing. The lakes and rivers in the Överkalix and Gällivare municipalities have been freezing nicely and snow is on the ground. Now the work of trail grooming commences. A big THANK YOU to Jockfall Fishing & Activities, friends of the BELAU like Daniel Cedering and Henrik Drugge and the many snowmobile clubs for the incredible effort!
Our race roster looks amazing! We have 75 athletes from 19 nations signed up so far. That’s a record number already. With more local and regional athletes signing up for the 20 and 50 km distances on “short notice”, we will have an amazing start line at the Grand Arctic Resort in Överkalix this winter. Speaking of which, this is a reminder for Swedish nationals who want to do the 20 and 50 km distances that they can use anmalig.nu to start the process of signing up and making the payment in a convenient way. As always, we would also like to encourage any locals determined to enter, not to wait too long to sign up. It makes planning the race a lot easier.
Anybody wanting to do the 85, 185 and 500 km distance, if you know you want to come but have not signed up, please do so as soon as possible. We are approaching a total number of ultra-distance athletes that is the maximum we can allow.
To all athletes already on our race roster, three email newsletters have been sent out so far. If you have not received any emails, please get in touch and we will check what the problem may be.
