Holmenkollen 5‑mile races saved for 2026/27

The International Ski Federation’s (FIS) committee meeting in Slovenia confirmed that the traditional 5‑mile races at Holmenkollen will remain on the calendar for the 2026/27 season. The decision came after concerns that the events could be cancelled due to their placement the weekend after the World Championships. Norway’s representatives, Ulf Morten Aune and Espen Bjervig, argued successfully that the races are vital for both Norwegian and international ski culture. macnevers-and-co.beer
