Many of you will hopefully be pleased to hear that this year\u2019s Fj\u00e4llmaraton will go ahead this summer\u2013albeit with appropriate modifications to ensure you, as competitors, spectators and family members, can all comply with social distancing standards. <\/p>\n\n
Keep reading to see the steps that Fj\u00e4llmaraton is taking for each event: <\/p>\n\n
Welcome to J\u00e4mtlandsfj\u00e4llens this summer!<\/p>\n\n
Fj\u00e4llmaratonweek will take place, as planned, from July 25th onwards.<\/span>
\n
\nAll races:<\/b><\/p>\n\n KIA Fj\u00e4llmaraton, 100K, Salomon 27K and Peak Performance Vertical K:<\/b><\/p>\n\n Cancelled Events in 2020:<\/b><\/p>\n\n Sprinten<\/i><\/b> will not take place in 2020. Given its likelihood to draw in the crowds in central \u00c5re, this event has been scrapped as we cannot permit any crowds bigger than 50 people.<\/span><\/p>\n\n The <\/span>Minimaraton<\/i><\/b> changes its format for 2020. With something in the region of 250 kids each year \u2013 plus double the number of parents and responsible adults \u2013 we have decided to create two well-marked routes in Eds\u00e5sdale that will remain open and signposted for the duration of Fj\u00e4llmaratonveckan. This approach gives families total flexibility on their choice of day and time and will be a fun way to spend a free day.<\/span>
\n
\nAll kids that complete one of the routes during the week will receive Fika and a commemorative souvenir. <\/span><\/p>\n\n We have a solution for those who have missed out on an entry to your dream race this year, or if you are already entered for certain races but feel uncomfortable with the notion of increased tourists in the region during the week.<\/span>
\n
\nThroughout the summer we will introduce the Choose Your Day<\/span> option. A separate entry form will be created for the following race routes: <\/span>V\u00e4lliste Runt<\/i><\/b>, <\/span>Kvartsmaraton<\/i><\/b>,\u00a0 <\/span>Peak Performance Vertical K<\/i><\/b>, <\/span>Salomon 27K <\/i><\/b>and <\/span>KIA Fj\u00e4llmaraton<\/i><\/b>.<\/span>
\n
\n\u00a0<\/span>
\n
\nThe Choose Your Day concept gives you total flexibility to participate in your chosen race on your own terms \u2013 with the bonus of the same race-day access to chip timing and transfer shuttles as you would expect. The results for each race route will be updated daily between the Choose Your Day period of 27th June \u2013 16th August.<\/span>
\n
\nStay tuned for the next newsletter in which we will explain how to change your current entry and register for this new concept.<\/span><\/p>\n\n Those entered for the <\/span>Tour de Fj\u00e4llmaraton <\/i><\/b>will be offered free start places in all of our individual events during the KIA Fj\u00e4llmaraton 25 July \u2013 1 Aug as well as the \u00d6ppet Fj\u00e4ll on 8 August. Alternatively, entries can be deferred to 2021.<\/span>
\n
\nGiven the unique circumstances facing the 2020 edition (namely the increased pressure to ensure the smooth, socially distanced running of the standard events), we do not feel we are in a position to fulfil our own high standards for the Tour. For this reason, we have decided to put the Tour on hold for 2020 and ensure that the 2021 edition is even bigger and better with extra special stages and additional races.<\/span>
\n
\nOn Wednesday we will send an extra newsletter to those affected by this decision with information on how to defer your Tour entry for 2021 or re-register for all the individual events in 2020.<\/span>
