If you want to emulate Pippa Middleton's cross country skiing success in the next Vasaloppet the bad news is that the 15,800 start places have already been snapped up!  The 2013 race filled up in a record-breaking 11 days.

But if testing your skiing skills over 90km is your aim, there are still places in the Öppet Spår on 24 and 25 February - same distance, same course, same support plus a stamp in your Worldloppet passport.

You can see the results for all GB registered skiers in the 2012 Vasaloppet here - congratulations to them all.

LRNSC skiers have been participating in a number of cross country ski races this winter, the latest being Bieg Piastow in Poland, here are their results:
