Swedish Classic

CommunityBelinda Kirk1 Comment

En svensk klassiker, Swedish classic circuit, is a diploma awarded to those who have finished races in four races disciplines (cross country skiing, cycling, swimming and cross country running) during a 12-month period. The diploma was first awarded in 1972.Thousands of people, mostly Swedes, take part in all four each year and receive the Swedish Classic Circuit award. More than 28,000 people (more than 4,500 women) have achieved this.

I'm interested in trying to achieve this in 2017 and am looking for other interested people to get a travel/training group together!Check out the race details and locations online and if it appeals to you get in touch! I'm an amateur triathlete but have never touched a pair of cross country skis!
