How to share SkøyteBirken 53 km with your phone
Plan your own SkøyteBirken 53 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.

Plan your own SkøyteBirken 53 km ski day and share it with the people cheering you on.
SkøyteBirken is the 53 km freestyle race from Rena to Lillehammer. It takes place on the Friday of SkiBirken and has both recreational and elite classes. The start is at Tingstadjordet near Rena and the finish is at Birkebeineren ski stadium. It is the skating option rather than the main classic-technique race on Saturday.
A pack weighing at least 2 kg is required by the organiser. Share the full name SkøyteBirken so supporters know which event and technique you have chosen. Arrange transport to the Rena start and agree on a meeting place at the stadium. The fact that the route is familiar does not make the Friday and Saturday race schedules interchangeable.
The published 2027 race dates are 19 March 2027. Check your entry against the exact distance and day shown here before arranging travel or asking someone to follow you.
