How to share SkiBirken 28 km with your phone
Plan your own SkiBirken 28 km ski day and share it with the people cheering you on.
Organiser information checked 8 November 2026.
How do I share my ski race?
To share your own race, prepare a Livebib broadcast and send its personal link to family and friends before the start. Start GPS sharing when you are ready to ski. Followers see the positions your device sends when connectivity allows. The organiser remains the source for official timing and results.
What do my followers need?
Send your personal activity link to the people who will follow you and tell them your distance and starting day. The race catalogue identifies the event. Your own link identifies your broadcast. A skier appears through the position they choose to share, so the event name alone does not mean that every participant is broadcasting.
What should I prepare before the start?
Charge your phone, test the broadcast and make sure the people following you have the right link. Keep the phone protected from moisture and cold. Agree on a meeting place after the race, and check the organiser’s latest transport, equipment and weather notices.

SkiBirken 28 km, formerly HalvBirken ski, starts at Sjusjøen and finishes at Birkebeineren ski stadium in Lillehammer. This is a classic-technique race on the same Saturday as the full Birkebeinerrennet. It offers a shorter journey to the Birken finish without requiring the start in Rena.
The route goes via Kroksjøen and Gjestbodsåsen to Midtfjellet before joining the main Birkebeiner corridor towards Lillehammer. The organiser requires a pack weighing at least 2 kg. Tell supporters you are starting at Sjusjøen and share both the current name and the older HalvBirken name if that is the one they recognise.
The published 2027 race dates are 20 March 2027. Check your entry against the exact distance and day shown here before arranging travel or asking someone to follow you.
