The Ski Classics Pro Tour Season XVII concludes this weekend. On Saturday, March 28, 2026, Reistadløpet kicks off the final event weekend. Check here for the program, start lists, start times, and where to watch.
Reistadløpet
Reistadløpet, the twelfth Pro Tour event of the season, is one of the circuit’s most demanding races.
Starting in 2026, the event features a single standard distance of 35km, marking a return to the original course where both recreational and elite skiers cover the same distance and share the same challenge.
The course between Setermoen and Bardufoss includes the Premium Sprint at Storlømyra after 5km and then climbs steeply to the notorious Iconic Climb Orta, taking athletes from the valley floor into exposed highlands before long, technical descents toward the finish.
The Premium Sprint, featured in both Reistadløpet and Grand Finale Summit 2 Senja, follows the same points system as other Ski Classics sprints, awarding points to the seven fastest men and women (30, 23, 16, 12, 9, 6, and 4). These points also count toward the Pro Team Competition, giving teams an opportunity to gain extra points during the race.
As one of the toughest races on the circuit, Reistadløpet has historically played a defining role in both the men’s and women’s standings and continues to be a proving ground for athletes with exceptional climbing strength.
