Spark - Kicksled WC 2026
The last weekend in January on Saturday the 31th January, the sports town of Geilo invites you to the most exciting event of the winter! The Kicksled World Championship (Spark-VM) is unique in many ways: it’s informal, social, and steeped in strong traditions.
In 2022, we celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Kicksled World Championship at Geilo—an event full of energy and excitement!
The Spark-VM is a unique event in many ways. It’s a casual, social gathering rooted in tradition. Based on one of the oldest means of transportation known in Norway, as well as in Sweden and Finland, enthusiastic people have, since 1982, created a popular and beloved winter carnival. The Spark-VM is one of the highlights of Geilo!
The content of Spark-VM has varied over the years, but today it stands as a true winter carnival. There are mainly three categories for adults and a separate Spark-VM for children. There will be arrangements for stands in the center and finish area, so bring warm clothes and seating mats! The timing has generally been set for the last weekend in January because normally this gives the best "kicksled conditions."
