Holmenkollen Skimaraton is an annual ski marathon held in Norway. Held since 1974, in 2005 the race formally became one of the locations of the FIS Nordic Ski Marathon Cup, a series which includes the Holmenkollen Skimaraton, Tornedalsloppet in Sweden, the Fossavatn Ski Marathon in Iceland and Oulun Tervahiihto in Finland.[1] The race is now usually the first race of the cup, held in February.
