Flyktningerennet

Flyktningerennet is a cross country ski race, running from Lierne, Norway to Gäddede, Sweden. The ski race follows this route in remembrance of the people who fled Nazi German-occupied Norway for Sweden during the Second World War.
The first race was arranged in 1950, with H. Hemmingsson as winner. The first female Flyktningerenn was arranged in 1964.
