The Sons of Norway’s District Six Colorado Lodges invite you to participate in the children’s Barneløpet for young people ages 0 - 16. Barneløpet is a noncompetitive ski event for children modeled after similar ski events in Norway. Literally translated, Barneløpet means “children’s race.” Sons of Norway’s Barneløpet is a FREE event open to boys and girls of all skill levels.

Cross Country ski rentals, sponsored by the host Lodges, are available to Barneløpet racers at no charge at Snow Mountain Ranch Nordic Center. It is best to call them at 970-887-2152 to set up rentals in advance for pickup. You'll need to tell them your child's height and weight.

After the race, skiers and their families are invited to a reception where the Host Lodges will serve a light lunch of Norwegian hot dogs, snacks and beverages.

The event is on February 22, 2025 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
