Cycling: The World's largest cross country race
The course is 94.6 km with start at Rena and finish in Lillehammer. All competitors must have passed 17 years of age as per December 31, 2010, and must carry a backpack of at least 3,5 kg throughout the race. Last year's race was a mud bath from beginning to end, and the weather this Saturday is not promising either. (NRK)
