This is more than just a ski race; it’s a small ski festival held in Mosjøen, the last weekend of April every year. Featuring children’s races, school sprints, corporate relays, and youth sprints, it covers the full spectrum of skiing. The event emphasizes skiing enjoyment, achievement, fun, and serious competition! It’s a wild celebration that attracts thousands of spectators and participants.
Perhaps the biggest attraction is the main sprint event, “Bysprinten elite,” where cross-country skiers from the world elite compete right in the city center. Streets are filled with extra snow during these warmer spring days, creating a top-notch course through the center and the houses of the historic Sjøgata. The event includes prologues, semifinals, and finals, all broadcast live on TV2.
Bysprinten is about the joy of sports and skiing, showcasing talents on the rise and young hopefuls developing their skills alongside seasoned elite athletes at the pinnacle of their careers.
Join the ski festival and celebration!
