This wave celebrates the spirit of the 35 intrepid skiers who finished the first Birkie in 1973.

It is comprised of a small group of skiers who have completed the most Birkies and therefore have a special place in the race’s history. The current group of 2024 Spirit of 35 skiers have at least 44 American Birkebeiners completed, including Birkie Founder, Ernie St.
Germain, who has finished all 49 American Birkebeiners! Birkie gear bags will be distributed as part of bib pick-up. There will be a mandatory meeting for Seeded Group competitors prior to the race. There is no Seeded Group in the Birkie Classic Race. If you have no prior Birkie history, you may request an upgrade based on a qualifying race.
Earlier this year, the Tour de France was beset by controversy, with Michael Rasmussen withdrawn by his team while he was leading the race on allegations of doping, and pre-race favourite Alexander Vinokourov busted for an illegal blood transfusion.
