Starting times Birkebeinerrennet 2010
Skiers will be seeded in waves according to results obtained in previous Birkebeiner races or in races sanctioned for qualification. The fastest skiers will start first.
Our intention is that skiers should start in a wave where they qualitatively belong and thus ski with their equals. Allocation of wave
Waves will be allocated on the basis of results in Birkebeinerrennet 2009, 2008 or 2006. In addition there are qualification races, among them some Worldloppet races, where results will be assessed for qualification. Such results must be from the winter season 2009/2010.
