Ski mara­thon can­cel­led

Posted on 17. February 2021 by Rolf Stange

The ski mara­thon, one of Longyearbyen’s major annu­al events in the calen­dar of sports and cul­tu­re and in 2021 sche­du­led for 17 April, has now been can­cel­led becau­se of coro­na for the second time in a row. The ski mara­thon is orga­nis­ed by Sval­bard Turn, a local sports club in Lon­gye­ar­by­en. For the club, the can­cel­la­ti­on invol­ves a lot of effort and a major finan­cial loss. Lon­gye­ar­by­en loses a major event that used to bring several hund­red inter­na­tio­nal par­ti­ci­pants in recent years, making the mara­thon an important event also for the local tou­rism indus­try inclu­ding hotels, restau­rants and tour ope­ra­tors.

Sval­bard Turn now puts their hopes on the con­ven­tio­nal mara­thon on 05 June. The par­ti­ci­pants of the ski mara­thon can re-book for 23 April 2022. This inclu­des a lar­ge num­ber of peop­le who wan­ted to to the mara­thon alrea­dy in 2020.
