The Ski Classics Challengers event Tanumsloppet is a 40km long-distance rollerski race in classic technique taking place this Sunday, August 14, at Tanumshede, Sweden.
For the fifth year and the first time as a Ski Classics Challengers, Tanumsloppet will take place in Tanumshede, in the west of Sweden.
The new Ski Classics Challengers event is a 40km long-distance rollerski race in classic technique, and the organizers invite professional athletes, as well as recreational skiers and youngsters, to an event with an enjoyable course with scenic landscapes and a good road surface.
The rollerski track is relatively flat and suits all levels of rollerskiers. The main race distance, part of Ski Classics Challengers, is 40km, while shorter distances are offered. Tanumsloppet is also seeding race for Vasaloppet.
“The first lap is 22 kilometers, and the second 18. We start with a lap on the rollerki track. Here there’s a mix of some hills and then more flat parts. We have received compliments from those who have been here and tested the course,” says event director Ulf Brahm and continues:
“The starting field looks really good.”
