Svalbard Skimaraton 2027

Conflicting sources: the course page places the arena at the start of Todalen, while the explicitly 2026 start page describes the plain at the start of Adventdalen. Historical: that page prints Frithamn before Bødalen at 12:00, Gangskaret before Gangdalen at 12:30 and a 16:00 finish limit, changeable by the jury. Unconfirmed: final 2027 alignment, checkpoint positions, cut-offs and withdrawal transport are not confirmed. No course artwork is reproduced or traced; the public point is a host reference.

Conflicting sources: the dedicated safety page lists marathon feeds around 12, 16, 21, 27 and 30 km plus the finish; the overview omits 21 and 27 km. The course page warns there is no water-refill facility at the arena or on course. Unconfirmed: final 2027 feed locations, drinks, dietary provision and refill arrangements must be checked before starting. The organiser describes toilets, changing space and labelled baggage handling, without establishing secure storage or accessible facilities.

The 2027 terms make entry binding without illness or injury refunds. An upgrade costs the difference; a shorter distance gives no difference refund. They allow retention of 50% for cancellation before race day and the full entry fee for sudden race-day weather or force majeure; missing a relocated or rescheduled race gives no refund entitlement. Banquet charges are non-refundable for illness or cancellation. Terms also cover public participant/results lists and broad photograph reuse, including onward commercial use. Unconfirmed: final checkout charges, person-to-person transfer rights and any individual cancellation policy require the actual contract.

Historical: Bjørn Christian Tørrissen’s genuine 18 April 2022 photograph looks across Adventfjorden from Hiorthfjellet towards Longyearbyen and its snowy mountain backdrop. The original JPEG is unchanged, with responsive display crops under CC BY-SA 4.0. This is archive host-area context, not the race, its 2027 course, an access route or current conditions.

Conflicting sources: the entry terms specify Norwegian licence cover for ages 13–70, while the class-page FAQ says it becomes voluntary at 80 and retains a NOK 250 example beside a NOK 300 one-race charge. The current NSF 2026/27 page says licence is required from the 13th birthday and distinguishes race-day-only cover from annual cover. Unconfirmed: individual age eligibility, overseas insurance acceptance and the applicable licence charge must be resolved in the current entry process; a FIS code alone is not proof of insurance.
