The organizers of the 28th Tallinn Ski Marathon have announced that the event will take place this Saturday in near-ideal conditions, with the race set to cover the planned distances of 38 km and 19 km. Raivar Vaher, the head organizer, confirmed that the conditions on the trails are excellent, even allowing for the addition of a classic track, which is a bonus not typically available at freestyle marathons. The winter weather has been favorable this season, providing abundant snowfall that promises a great experience for participants.

According to weather forecasts, the temperatures for the marathon are expected to be between -2 to -4 degrees Celsius, with no predictions of warming trends. Vaher expressed confidence that the marathon would proceed as planned, highlighting the excitement surrounding the event due to the excellent snow conditions. The organizers have prepared thoroughly for the participants, ensuring a memorable skiing experience amid favorable winter weather.

In addition to the main marathon events, a new feature has been added this year called the Tallinn Ski Marathon Kõrvemaa Night Race, which is scheduled to take place the day before the main races. Athletes will compete in the dark, illuminated by headlamps, over distances of 19 and 3 km, with the shorter loop allowing for multiple laps. This addition to the program aims to enhance the overall skiing experience for participants and spectators alike, showcasing the vibrancy of the skiing community in the region.
