At 05.00 this Saturday the seventh edition of  Nordenskiöldsloppet in modern times starts. It will be an extraordinary skiing adventure on a historic track over 220 km. Memories for a lifetime will be created as each of the more than 500 participants writes their very own hero story.

 On the start list is three-time winner Andreas Nygaard (NOR), who in 2024 will be challenged by the Swedish long-distance stars Emil Persson and Oskar Kardin, as well as Klas Nilsson and Johan Lövgren, both of whom have been first across the finish line in Jokkmokk before. Only a day ago, it also became clear that Norwegian Joar Thele is taking on the challenge above the Arctic Circle.

On the women's side, two-time winner Frida Hallqvist can secure her third straight victory and thus keep the trophy at home. The main contender to prevent that comes in Linnea Johansson, who convinced during this year's Vasaloppet with an 8th place in the women's class.

 The young girl from Lager 157 Ski Team is also the obvious women's favorite in the new class Red Bull Nordenskiöldsloppet – Future for skiers under 25 where a total of SEK 50,000 in prize money for the top girls and boys is at stake.

From 16.00 you can follow the final stretch of the elite battle in our live broadcast on YouTube.

It is also possible to follow all the participants via the live results from the timing.

 Throughout the day, there will also be updates from the competition on our social media: Instagram and Facebook
