The Fernie Nordic Society is bringing back the Flying Viking Challenge to the Elk Valley Nordic Centre with a new ‘mini-viking’ challenge for kids.

You have the option to do either the full 50 km yourself (2 loops to the ski hill trails and back) or you can choose to do a single loop of 25 km. Three age categories to choose from: Adult Open, U17 and L56 (or age 56 and up). You can classic or skate ski as you wish … let’s go for No Rules!

Mini-Viking Challenge: New this year are categories with 3 shorter distances for Mini-Vikings. Choose 1.3 km to Teck bridge, 3.4 km to top of Runt/Grunt or 7.5 km around Galloway Loop, and back to hut. Optional costumes are highly recommended here too.
