Welcome to Engelbrektsloppet in Norberg
Our Story
Engelbrektsloppet was founded in 1968 by a few enthusiastic skiers who aimed to create an event that could support the local talented skiers financially. They also decided that women should be welcomed to take part, which wasn't allowed at Vasaloppet at that time.
1969 the first Engelbrektsloppet was held and the winner was Janne Stefansson from Sälen. 1970 was the first race with female skiers and the victory went to Irene Atterbring, Fagersta Södra IK.
1976 Engelbrektsloppet became a part of A Swedish Classic.
