PROGRAM – LOFOTEN SKIMO

Lofoten Skimo 2020 is cancelled because of Covid-19 situation.

We are sorry to inform that we have to cancel Lofoten Skimo this weekend. Due to drastically increase in the Covid-19 situation in Norway the last days, we have decided, to cancel the race. This is due to new regulations launched today by the Norwegian Government and the Norwegian Sports Federation, stating that all sport event shall be cancelled immediately.

This is a very hard decision to make, and we are deeply sorry for not being able to host this race. We know some of you have travelled far to come to Lofoten, but we hope you can still enjoy the mountains during the weekend.
