By Linda Tancs

The Norwegian Skating Festival is a long distance skating race on Lake Mjøsa in Moelv, between Lillehammer and Hamar.  Taking place on 18 February this year, the competition is open in all classes from 8-80 years over distances of 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 km.  For those prefering a more leisurely pace, the festival also offers a celebration of all things ice, including figure skating, curling and ice fishing.  Moelv is reachable in approximately 25 minutes by train; the closest airport is Oslo.
