American Birkebeiner

The American Birkebeiner, or "Berkie" is the largest cross country ski marathon in North America. It is comprised of many races, but the premier events are the 54 km (34 mile) classic and the 50 km (31 mile) freestyle races from Cable to Hayward. Over 10,000 people take part in the Berkie each year.

The 40th Annual Birkebeiner takes place February 21st to February 23rd. Registration for this year's eighteen races has past, but there are many events all around Hayward to enjoy before and after the races.
