Multiple Olympic and World Champion Thomas Alsgaard will be one of the stars in starting lineup of Patria Direct Jizerska 50, which takes place on January 8-10 2010. Norwegian skier was at Bedrichov, Czech republic also last year and finished 17.
"I was impressed by the nature, the nice course and all the people. The race was very good organized, and I am looking forward to come back," says Thomas Alsgaard. "The course was very good. Very different from all the other Marathon races - long hard uphill's and a very though course. Vasaloppet is off course tough, and Birkebeineren. Then comes Jizerska 50."
