Billingens Långlopp
Billingens Långlopp becomes part of the Ski Classics Challengers circuit with a 42-kilometer race in classic technique in Skövde, Sweden. The upcoming edition will be held on February 3, 2024.
Billingens Långlopp is one of the largest long-distance races in southern Sweden. The competition is popular due to its proximity to many larger Swedish cities where skiing is very popular.
The Billingen Ski Arena is a top modern ski center and hosted the Swedish skiing championships in 2023.
The Local Organizing Committee is pleased to be joining the Ski Classics Challengers circuit:
“After last winter’s participation record, we are now betting even bigger, and we will broadcast the competition live for the first time.”
