Refund Skarverennet2020

Thanks for your warm support

We have received a massive wave of support and sympathy by mail and in social media after being forced to cancel Skarverennet due to the corona virus situation. You tell us to carry on and encourage us to start planning next year’s race, and we are pretty impressed and overwhelmed by you finding the time to think of us in these difficult times. Thank you all, thank you very much! 

We do as we are told and are happy to announce that the date for Skarverennet 2021 is set, April 17th.

Practical 2020 refund information

Arranging the Skarverennet race is by far the most important event funding all the activities our sports club Geilo IL do for our members including kids. This year’s coronavirus cancellation, which we accepted immediately due to the publicly well
known health risk, will influence our economy and other activities. That having been said we have put funds aside during many successful years of arrangement to prepare for difficult times.

We would very much appreciate to welcome you all back next year, and due to that offer an improved 70% refund on your prepaid 2020 admission fee, which is better than previously published under our terms & conditions.

As an additional benefit we will provide you exclusive pre-registration to Skarverennet 2021. We will notify you in a few days time regarding this priority option offered to registered 2020 participants only.
